The Lost Steps

The Argentine military governments (The Juntas) of the 1970's and early 1980's left a terrible legacy. Not only "Los Desaparecidos" (thousands of “Disappeared” political prisoners), but also babies taken from their parents at birth, and relocated with families of the leaders and cronies. The Lost Steps (Los Pasos Perdidos ) is the story, twenty years later, of Argentine-born Monica (Irene Visedo) apparently living a contented life in Spain with her parents until one day she is confronted by a man claiming to be her grandfather! Director Manane Rodriguez skillfully weaves the intense political strife with one man’s faith that his granddaughter is alive, and his remorseless search in finding her.
