Though this story is based on real events,
characters and dialogues
have been fictionalized.
Mom, I'll stay here, okay?
All right.
Silvia.
- I'm so glad you're back.
- Oh, Father.
- I'm so sorry.
- Thank you very much.
- You know it.
- Yes.
- Hello?
- Hi.
- It's Fer, from Rolling Stone magazine.
- Hang on.
Yes, sure.
Okay, go ahead. I'm sorry.
I didn't want to bother you,
but I saw the deceased list
and I wondered if
Is Lucas Binder related to you?
My brother.
Tamara, I'm so sorry.
Thanks.
I'm calling you because the magazine
is going to cover what happened.
And I wanted you to know
that we're here for you
for whatever you may need.
If you want us to publish one
of your photos, we'll do it.
CROMAÑÓN: THE NIGHT OF THE FIRE
Before the mayor,
the board of the chamber
regulating night clubs
admitted there was unlawfulness
in the Buenos Aires nightlife.
The fire has already caused the removal
of two of Aníbal Ibarra's staff members.
Despite the regulations,
the firefighter inspection
and the controls in place,
a tragedy caused the death of 200 people.
A tragedy is an unavoidable,
unpreventable event.
Cromañón was not a tragedy.
It was a massacre.
How is it possible
that a venue licensed in 1997
under the most precarious
and irregular conditions
can still be open today?
Inspectors went to Cromañón
and left with money in their pockets.
There are many accomplices
in this criminal network.
Chabán, Callejeros
I'm going to focus on the people in charge
of the controls that did not work.
They are responsible and will be punished.
The cab's waiting for you.
Are you going to Tapiales?
JANUARY 2005
No, another network.
I'm spending more time on TV than at home.
- Mr. Binder. This is yours.
- Thanks.
Thanks.
Mr. Binder?
I am Berta Reynoso.
Julián Vasallo's mother.
He died that night too.
They also lost their children.
As soon as we saw you on TV,
we felt we needed to talk to you,
because we didn't know where else to go.
Who to trust.
So many ambulance chasers
approached us at the morgue.
As many as ten of your colleagues
gave us their cards,
but we don't want
to be taken advantage of.
Yes, that's what's happening.
Scum is everywhere.
That's why we thought
you could represent us.
We are lost.
And there are many families
in our situation.
Of course.
You can count on me.
I'll give you my phone number.
Call me and we'll talk about it.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
They used to ask for the Amelie haircut.
Now they want a swoop.
- What?
- A swoop.
The puffy bangs on the side.
Because of Rachel from Friends.
I'd look like I got caught in a wave
if I did that.
What I don't get about Friends
is how nobody in the whole group
has serious problems.
Well, who has serious problems
at 20-something?
Okay, princess, what would you like?
I don't know.
A haircut.
Sure.
Your hair looks so nice.
So long and healthy.
I'm pregnant.
But I
I mean
I don't know if I can handle it.
And a friend, Natalia Pedrozo,
suggested I come to see you.
- To see you, ma'am.
- It's okay, you can speak informally.
I know Natalia.
You want to terminate the pregnancy.
Is that correct?
All right.
How old are you?
Nineteen.
I'm going to prescribe Misoprostol.
It's a very safe and efficient drug
when the pregnancy is under three months.
But can I buy it at a pharmacy?
Yes. Don't say
what you're using it for, of course.
It has other medical uses
like for gastric issues.
These pills will cause contractions
that will help to release the embryo.
Will it hurt?
No, don't worry.
The pain will be similar
to a painful period. That's all.
Okay.
Do you live with your parents?
Are you dating anyone?
Kind of No. It's weird.
Do you have friends, siblings?
Actually, I'm all by myself in this.
I cancelled the Gesell gig.
You guys have to tell me
what you wanna do.
Will the band continue?
It's hard, Alemán.
We're devastated. We lost so many friends.
We lost Víctor. He was
the most enthusiastic about the band.
Also, a lot of clubs are closing.
It's a mess. There'll be none left.
I don't want to play anymore.
For me, music is over.
For me, it's over.
Not because of the band,
but because of me.
I can't deal with myself.
I can't.
This is it.
Nico
Leave him alone.
Male, why don't you try to get some sleep?
My baby.
I like your hair.
The more I see it, the more I like it.
This is going to be here forever.
No. Not forever! It's going to heal.
After some time, you won't even remember.
I want to tell Lucas.
I want to tell him what happened, Mom.
I can't believe that he's gone.
That I can't tell him
anything else anymore.
I don't know how to do it.
I don't know how to continue living.
Baby, don't
Do you want to do something?
Shall we go out together? Do something?
Can we visit Aunt Cata?
In Rosario?
Yes, I need to leave.
Okay, sure. Of course we can.
If I have to come back to work,
you can stay there with her.
EXI
Can't sleep?
Neither can I.
It's so hot.
How are you doing?
Hanging in there.
If you wanna talk
I don't feel like it.
Son, I'm not really good at this,
but I don't think it's good for you
to keep it to yourself.
Maybe talking to someone will help.
Maybe.
Hey
Look at me.
Everything will be okay.
I promise.
No way. I won't sell fireworks again.
You have no idea how guilty I feel.
If they want fireworks,
they should go somewhere else.
Not me.
Hello?
Hello. Can I speak to Javier?
Hi, Javi.
How's therapy? How did it go?
I don't know.
We didn't talk. We were both silent.
Suddenly he said,
"Tell me about your dad."
And I was caught off guard.
I don't get it. I still don't.
But
How is it?
Is it going to hurt? What is it like?
No.
The gynecologist explained how it is
and I don't even need to go anywhere.
Are you sure, girl?
It's for the best.
I don't see myself with a child, Cheti.
I'm not in a good place
to change my life like that. Not now.
Our lives have already changed, Luli.
What matters is what you wanna do now.
I'll support you in whatever you decide.
Do you mean that?
I do.
If you don't wanna have it, I'm here.
If you wanna have it
I'm here too.
Do you feel it?
For me, these are extra heartbeats.
These are like extra lives sent from above
and being okay is a way to be thankful
for them.
Are you a believer?
Who knows?
Don't you think it's a miracle
that both of us are here? Together? Alive?
Think about it.
Does it bother you?
No, I don't like being watched.
So if I kiss you in public,
you'll have a heart attack?
You're the cutest weirdo in the world.
You know?
- Can I get another one? It doesn't work.
- Yes, of course.
NO MORE IMPUNITY
Welcome, Male.
Thanks.
I'm glad you're here.
Male. Take a seat.
Thank you, Nico.
Okay.
This is our situation.
We have to keep it in mind
so that all of these people will pay.
We have to understand it.
The trial starts in a few days.
Experts, firefighters, inspectors.
They don't know the truth. We do.
We're going to prove that, on that night,
there were more than 4,000 people
in Cromañón
while the license allowed for 1,000.
And for that to happen,
they bribed the police.
All of the fire extinguishers
were unusable.
We are going to prove that the nursery
in the restrooms was a lie.
A lie from the media
to make us look stupid
and save the government's ass.
- A lie they keep repeating.
- Right.
Carlos, what do you think
would be a fair sentence?
For the 15 defendants to be found guilty
of willful havoc,
negligent manslaughter and bribery.
That is payment and collection of bribes.
That should be between
8 and 25 years in prison.
For Callejeros as well, Carlos?
Yes.
Carlos, Callejeros were 25-year-old kids.
They were victims as well.
They also lost relatives.
They were devastated.
Or am I the only one
who saw Pato getting people out?
- It's true.
- We all saw him.
So, what?
They can't go to prison
like the rest of them.
No, Callejeros organized the show
together with Chabán.
They agreed on paying bribes,
or there would have been less people.
They didn't care about their fans.
What do you think will happen
when they try to accuse
the ones who threw the flares?
There's a clear investigation
about who threw the flare
but the plaintiff won't focus on that.
We all knew flares were lit
in those concerts and why.
We were not insane kids
wanting to set ourselves on fire
inside a venue.
If you had a flare,
you somehow felt
like a part of the show, at least.
You were no longer a nobody at home
or a worker with a shitty job.
The flares were light, man.
They were light.
Okay, Tuca.
I get it.
But the court won't care about
your poetic take on the flares.
You're forgetting
something important, Nico.
What do you mean?
I mean the music.
I'm not talking about poetry, but music.
Or did you forget
how we felt when we went to a show?
No, I can hardly forget.
- No?
- No, I can't.
I thought you did.
Do you remember we had a band?
It doesn't seem like it.
You're just like my old man.
What a compliment.
It wasn't a compliment.
You remind me of Lucas too.
That, I do take as a compliment.
Want some? It's cold.
I liked something that Cheti said.
He's right.
About not giving up doing things we like.
You have music, books.
I do.
No, what I meant was
- Now the trial is coming.
- Yes.
We have to focus on that.
That's what's most important.
We have to be together.
Yes, I'm not talking about now.
I'm talking about the future.
Otherwise,
Cromañón will take over everything.
It ends up feeling like a project.
Get it?
Yes.
Give me that please.
I got a call from Mexico.
And?
I got the scholarship.
- Fuck yes.
- Yes.
Speaking of projects
I'll testify and leave.
And what about us?
Lulita.
I missed you a lot.
And I missed you. I needed you.
Sorry I didn't come earlier.
That wasn't nice of me. I don't know why,
but I couldn't be here in Celina.
- I pretty much disappeared.
- Yes, and left me hanging.
Yes, I know.
But it wasn't just you. It was everything.
It's over. I'm here now.
Of course.
We all did our best.
I know.
How long are you staying for?
A few days.
Tell me about roller-skating.
You're killing it, right?
Killing it but broke.
But I'm doing better.
I keep running from place to place.
I can't take it anymore.
This time I brought the trophy home,
at least.
Congrats, girl.
Who's there?
Hey.
Baby.
- How are you doing?
- What's up?
Congrats on the boy.
He's beautiful.
Juli would be proud.
SHRINE TO OUR ROCK ANGELS
30.12.04
I don't know what to do, what to think
MUSIC DOES NOT KILL
I'm a bit lost in this city
Look at me
Tell me where you are
Your eyes are two lights that leave
I THINK IT IS DECISIVELY IMPORTAN
TO QUESTION
THE SITUATION OF MAN AND TODAY'S SOCIETY.
I don't need anything else
Just a part of you
I don't know what to do, what to think
I'm a bit lost in this city
Look at me, tell me where you are
Your eyes are two lights that leave
I don't need anything else
THOSE WHO LIVE, WRITE
I LOVE YOU INFINITELY - LUQUI
Just a part of you
I don't need anything else
Just a part of you
This is what I'm like
The street lives in me
I saw it coming
And I didn't want to say it
The neighborhood sings at night for me
It's a good song.
Do you know who wrote it?
- You're going to pester me too?
- If it helps you to take action.
- You were right about something.
- About what?
It was good to get all of us together.
Yes, of course, Male. It was.
But sometimes I feel like
only the people who went through
the same are going to get you.
That's why getting together,
talking, sharing is important.
I feel there are things
I can't share with anybody.
Like what?
I don't know.
For a long time I felt like a bitch.
I didn't know
what to do with what happened.
Nobody knew.
Everyone did what they could,
and I couldn't do much.
I almost couldn't do anything.
I miss Luqui.
Me too.
The other day I found
the notebook where I wrote my songs.
I found a note he left me.
I don't know when he wrote it.
I took it as a message.
Wow.
It said something like
writing and living are the same thing.
And you have to write to go on living.
Will you sing with me?
This is what I'm like
The street lives in me
I saw it coming
And didn't want to say it
The neighborhood sings at night for me
And I think that with you
My fears may disappear
And now?
I am always
Somewhere else
Imagining something else
Hi.
Male.
Hi, Silvi.
Darling, how are you?
- Fine, and you?
- Fine.
Is Carlos home?
No, he's running errands.
He'll be back soon.
Wanna come in?
Have a drink with me while you wait.
Okay, I'll wait for him.
- Yes?
- Sure.
Eat something. You're so skinny.
My mom is always telling me that.
Drives me crazy.
How's your mom?
She's moving, right?
Yes, in a few days.
So brave of her to do that.
She's scared.
- Is she?
- Yes.
Well, some changes are good.
Besides your mom is strong
and can do whatever she likes.
Yes, maybe.
She's crazy, though.
Who isn't?
So nice having you here.
Us being here together and talking,
Lucas must like that.
But don't worry, I don't talk to ghosts.
But sometimes I wonder
what he would think or say or do.
It's a way to keep him close,
to touch him.
Here's Carlos.
Yes, the ombudsman's report
investigates the clubs' permits.
Yes, Cromañón and others.
The city's government didn't investigate.
Of course.
No, well
I'll call you tomorrow.
Bye.
Malena.
What a surprise!
She was looking for you
and we're catching up.
Do you want to talk?
Yes.
Okay, I'll leave you to it.
No, Silvia, please stay. I would like
to talk to both of you.
I thought about it
and if it isn't too late,
I'd like to testify.
Really?
What happened?
Nothing.
But I feel it's the least I could do.
For Luqui, for Javier, for everybody.
You testifying for us is
Thank you.
Come here, sweetie.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What's this?
"I never learn, love. I never"
INFINITE
LOVING YOU LIKE THIS IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND
IT'S THE THIRD TIME
I THOUGHT OF GOING BACK
Loving you like this
FOR LUQUI
Is hard to understand
