This mesmerising blend of love story, police procedural and crime thriller from Argentina beat A Prophet and White Ribbon to pick up this year's Best Foreign Film Oscar®.

Benjamin (Ricardo Darin), a recently retired criminal court investigator, is writing a novel based on a 25-year-old unresolved case of rape and murder that still haunts him. As part of his research he revisits Irene (Soledad Villamil), a beautiful judge he has secretly been in love with the entire time, and the two are thrust into a judicial and political nightmare as they try to uncover the truth. A rare combination of compelling mystery and romance that is one of the films of the year.
