Zona de detención

After a year teaching at a university in the United States, a young man returns to Buenos Aires during the military dictatorship. His return prompts a reflection on how the city’s streets have become a system of hidden signs that reveal the regime’s clandestine repression.

Directed by Francisco Guerrero, Zona de detención leans on a strong ensemble — Franco Moreyra, Sol Masaedo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 0.
