Synopsis
A former infantry mate's overdose sparks wartime memories for Esteban, who tries to reconcile his life today with the part of him that died along with his ideals and comrades in the Falklands/Malvinas War. The moving account from Argentine director Bauer, based on a memoir, reminds us that survivors keep fighting long after leaving the battlefield. Edgardo Esteban is an Argentinean author, journalist and war veteran .
The personal story he wrote about the Falklands war has been made into the award winning film Blessed by Fire. Directed by Tristan Bauer, Blessed by Fire is the first film to present the conflict from the Argentinean perspective. It opens 20 years after the war with the attempted suicide of a former soldier whose friend has flashbacks of their time together in the trenches when they were woefully umder-prepared for battle.
