El niño oscuro

2024 68 min Spanish

Nicolás Barsoff, a young Argentine actor of Austrian and Russian descent, rescues a box of film reels just as his father was about to throw it away. He hopes the box will be the key to unlocking a tendency toward darkness that haunts him as part of an inevitable inheritance he tries to combat with natural medicines. Through the archive, we delve into the story of a family torn apart by World Wars I and II, immigration to Argentina, and the military dictatorship of 1976. His two grandparents are presented as antagonistic characters in the context of the disappearance: two ghostly figures in a genealogy that Nicolás will try to reconstruct.
