The Eternaut's wife is Elsa Sánchez, widow of Héctor Germán Oesterheld –writer of the most outstanding work in Argentinean comics, 'El Eternauta'– and a woman from whom the Argentinean military dictatorship snatched away her four daughters and her husband. The political slant in Oesterheld's work was used as an excuse to commence this barbarity. This is the story of a fight for survival amidst the horror. A vital, intimate chronicle where Elsa brings us closer to her memories with the courage of true heroes. An example of a peaceful struggle against injustice, and a statement where pain and love for life go hand in hand. (Sitges Film Festival)
