At a press conference, the director of the film, Santiago Miteraffirmed that after the projection that “if there is something that we believed that the trial of 1985 had settled forever it is violence as a possibility to resolve political conflicts, it is something that we strongly repudiate”.

“Hate is the only feeling that does not prescribe”
In the same vein, the actor Ricardo Darin expressed his rejection of hate speech. “Each one does what he can with anger, rage, rage,” he began by saying.
And he continued: “That’s why it’s important review what is the own violence, the internal. What is happening to us inside?
“Sometimes, without realizing it, we can contribute to this widespread violence“, he reflected.
“If one has a humanistic sensibility, the first duty is try to put yourself in someone else’s shoeseven when one receives an aggression, because the snowball that produces aggression and violence is very easy to generate and very difficult to stop“, he remarked.
“Let’s not forget that hatredit’s probably the only feeling that does not prescribe”he concluded.
