Los pasos perdidos

I wasn't sure what to expect from this film, I just enjoy Spanish drama. But the movie opened with an old man stalking a young woman and so it grabbed my interest right away. He claims to be her grandfather and she is just as certain that he is confused or crazy. She is a kindergarten teacher and suddenly realizes that she cannot remember her childhood before coming to Spain as an infant. She knows that her father and mother are Argentine but knows only that her father is a businessman. When she sees her father's friends and then her father accused of crimes against humanity in Argentine, she agrees to meet with the old man. I thought the lead actress as "Monica" was very good. I enjoyed the history lesson. I enjoyed the quest for justice.

This film is very similar to "The official Story", the Argentinean film staring Norma Leandro, about children kidnapped by officers in charge of interrogation to many young people claiming justice from the military Argentinean government. The officers were abusing the prisoners until death and then taking their children under their possession. The beautiful Irene Visedo looks sensational and her performance is much better than the others senior actors on the film. I love her acting very much, which has improved, as you can see in the TV series "cuentame como paso"(2001-2005). Concha Velasco's performance as Monica's mother is so and so. The Argentinean actors playing the roles of Monica's father and grandfather respectively are good enough. I strongly recommend the film, I think that just to watch Irenes's performance is good enough to recommend this movie.
