Answer 1

La historia oficial follows Alicia, a well-off history teacher in 1980s Buenos Aires, who begins to suspect that her adopted daughter was taken from a political prisoner during Argentina’s military dictatorship (the “Dirty War”). As she quietly investigates—talking with friends, activists and members of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo—she confronts painful truths about her husband’s ties to the regime and the official version of the country’s past. The film traces Alicia’s moral awakening and the wrenching personal and political consequences of discovering the likely origins of the child she has raised.
