All That I Have
As a wealthy retired surgeon nears the end of his life, he begins to distribute his wealth to those in need, stating that "all that I have belongs to God." His nephews bring him to court to determine his mental competence in the hopes of stopping him from disposing of all his money.
Papá Iván
Dad Iván, is the testimony of the daughter of a Montonero guerilla leader that died during combat: Iván Roqué, the Iván in the title and father of the director. The documentary exposes in a moving way the difficult relationship between a daughter and her heroic, mythified father. At the same time it also becomes not only the reflection of a daughter but of an entire generation, about the feelings of abandoment, abscense, the tragedy, the exile and death. Feelings, ideas, dreams and facts are confronted. Tears are shed as much as admiration is expressed for the father, he is questioned as strongly as he is veneered.
