Good Light, Good Air

The name of the South Korean city of Gwangju means "good light", while Buenos Aires means "good air(s)". What these "good places" in two opposite parts of the world have in common is their experience with dictatorship. The lives of the young generations in these countries were shaped by the bloody suppression of the 1980 uprising in Gwangju and by the rule of the Argentinian military juntas in the 1970s, respectively. The sons and daughters of mothers and fathers who went missing forty years ago are on a quest for truth that had been corrupted for years by political regimes. Opening mass graves and exhuming family traumas cause phantom pain constantly reminding that parts of the collective past has been amputated.
