A Chocolate and a Press Operation (2022)
In July 1982, a month after the capitulation of Argentine troops in the Falklands war with Great Britain, GENTE magazine published on the cover a photo of a boy who had sent a letter and a chocolate to an anonymous soldier. His letter and chocolate would never reach the recipient, the chocolate being later sold at a kiosk in the Argentinian town of Comodoro Rivadavia. 38 years later, Gustavo Vidal, the chocolate boy, embarks on a journey to reconstruct the story that moved, in its time, Argentines deceived by the press before, during and after the armed conflict with the United Kingdom.
