Description: Brutal and overwhelming Confession wrestles with the legacy of Argentina's past and the passions of one young girl. When Mirta L pez looks out the dining room window she sees a slim self - possessed older boy on his way back from school. It's 1941 in provincial Argentina and the sight has awakened in her the first uncertain unnerving vibrations of desire. Naturally she confesses. But she cannot stop herself. Over thirty years later in 1977, that same young man is a general leading the ruling military junta of a country and a cell of young revolutionaries plot an audacious attack on him and the regime. Writing from the present into the past Mart n Kohan maps the contours of Argentina's 20th century but finds his centre in one woman devout headstrong lit up with ideas of right and wrong not the grand historical figures of her lifetime's omnipresent brutalizing history. And yet there is great beauty in Confession its decades and landscapes and the legacy of love and guilt pieties religious and civic that play out in one family and against the background of dictatorship's traumas.
