Absence. Year 1973, Argentina. "When I was three years old, my mother and father were murdered". Film director Albertina Carri's film could have started so. But Los Rubios (2003) begins and continues another way: there are memories, there is fiction, there is an actress, there is memory, there are wigs, there is reconstruction. "When I started his film, I wanted to talk about fiction in memory. When one remembers and tells a story, in deed, he or she is making up his or her own version of it", says the film director. Cinema-truth, cinema-fiction, cinema-impossible, cinema-necessary. Memories again, family again, mirrors again in Mapa's sessions.
