The Italian Embassy Cultural Centre presents a special screening of the film “Garage Olimpo” at the presence of the movie’s director Marco Bechis.

In the 70’s, eighteen-year-old Maria Fabiani lives with her French mother Diane in an old house in Buenos Aires, subletting rooms and giving classes to illiterate adults in the slums. When the teenager is abducted in her house by the Argentinean army accused of subversion, her mother seeks her out in the 23rd Precinct where one of the militaries without uniform tells her that they are heading with Maria. While Diane desperately tries to find information about her daughter, Maria is submitted to torture in the hideous underground of the Garage Olimpo.

The film is based on the real political events that took place in Argentina after Jorge Rafael Videla’s reactionary military junta assumed power on March 24, 1976. Director Marco Bechis was a victim of the country’s military regime and was forced to leave Argentina in 1977, at the age of 20, for political reasons.
