SYNOPSIS
A veteran of Malvinas’ War repair a boat to return to the islands without a passport in order to plant Argentina’s flag forty years after.

Premiere in Spain. With the presence of the director.
Why must you see it?
Creating a fissure between what is said and what is not said, what is shown and what is not, Puerto deseado delves into the life of a Malvinas War veteran who prepares a sea voyage to the islands with the sole purpose of planting an Argentine flag. In dribs and drabs and with attention to every gesture, Juan Manuel Bugarín configures a scenario, an atmosphere and a three-dimensional dimension to understand the symbolic quest of the protagonist. The tension increases while waiting for a trip that may not happen, but that time is enough to create a moving portrait of an existence marked by the absurdity of war.
