Sobrevivientes

Twenty-five years after the Falklands War, the ice in Antarctica gives up a raft holding the frozen body of a young conscript who served aboard the cruiser General Belgrano. His mother can finally bury him, and in the diary he carried she finds a hint that he may have left a child. An investigative journalist joins her search. She has losses of her own: a husband who left for Spain after the 2001 crisis and vanished, and a small son she felt unable to raise and left with her mother-in-law. Their inquiry uncovers political corruption and grows into a friendship that helps each woman rescue her own life.
