- Summary:
- Durante los años 1975 y 1976, los militares ocupan el territorio de la provincia de Tucumán y desatan una gran represión como prueba piloto para luego dar el golpe de estado. Un campesino militante del ERP, que vivía humildemente con su esposa y seis hijos, es secuestrado y su cuerpo es arrojado desde un helicóptero en Pozo Hondo, un pueblo situado entre Tucumán y Santiago del Estero. La población lo entierra y lo transforma en un santo milagroso. En 2010 se descubre que ese cuerpo pertenece a Tomás Francisco Toconás, y las tremendas consecuencias del terrorismo de estado salen a la luz para reconstruir la verdad detrás de la historia de un mito. During the years 1975 and 1976, the military occupied the territory of the province of Tucumán and unleashed a great repression as a pilot test to later launch the coup. A peasant militant of the ERP, who lived humbly with his wife and six of his children, is kidnapped and his body is thrown from a helicopter in Pozo Hondo, a town located between Tucumán and Santiago del Estero. The population buries him and transforms him into a miraculous saint. In 2010 it is discovered that this body belongs to Tomás Francisco Toconás, and the tremendous consequences of state terrorism come to light to reconstruct the truth behind the story of a myth.
