On September 15, 1977, a blind couple and their three-year-old son, Iván, disappeared from their home in a repressive operation led by the Army, the Police, and the Gendarmerie. The child was later handed over to the couple's relatives. The house was occupied for 17 years by the Guarnic Center for Retired Non-Commissioned Officers and Gendarmes. The documentary aims to rescue memory; it focuses on a single character, Negrita, the mother of the disappeared blind woman, and her struggle. The intention is to shed light on an event that was kept hidden by the official narrative, and to highlight, in Mostar, the irreparable damage it causes.
