Argentina continues Saura’s lyrical exploration of the essence, talent and patrimony of popular dance and song in both fiction and documentary

Liliana Herrero, el hilo de una voz

A human tragedy on the backdrop of a legal and medical scandal which in 2007 lead to legal action against the Argentinean state before the UN Human Rights Commission and a verdict of guilty in 2011. The mentally and physically handicapped 16-year-old girl Laura had been raped by her uncle in 2006. But a legal abortion which had already been officially granted at the request of her mother, Vicenta, was opposed by lawyers and doctors.

Abuelas

Liliana Herrero and Horacio González talk in the intimacy of their own home. The conversation about the versions of songs by Fito Páez recorded by Liliana for her latest album leads to deep and beautiful reflections.
