FROM THE LINER NOTESThe Argentine military governments (the Juntas) of the 1970s and early 1980s left a terrible legacy. Not only "Los Desaparecidos" (thousands of "disappeared" political prisoners), but also babies taken from their parents at birth, and relocated with families sympathetic to the Regime, often families of the leaders and cronies.The Lost Steps (Los Pasos Perdidos) is the story, twenty years later, of Argentine-born Monica (Irene Visedo) apparently living a contented life in Spain with her parents until one day she is confronted by a man claiming to be her grandfather. Director Manane Rodríguez skillfully weaves the intense political strife with one man's faith that his granddaughter is alive, and his remorseless search in finding her. Editor's Suggestions
