Synopsis:
In the mid-70's, Argentina's military dictatorship carried out a brutal campaign of torture and murder against thousands of its own citizens. 'The Official Story' follows Alicia (Norma Aleandro), the sheltered wife of a wealthy businessman (Hector Alterio), who begins to unravel the horrifying legacy of her country's past when she looks into the background of her own daughter, adopted at birth, to find that she may have been stolen from a family of "los desaparecidos" (the disappeared ones). 'The Official Story' is the true account of a woman faced with the hardest choice she could make - to live a lie or risk tearing apart her own life and family.
