Cautiva (2003)

English title: Captive.

Synopsis: In Argentina, an adolescent girl is told by a judge that blood tests indicate that she is really the daughter of a couple who was imprisoned during the dictatorship and then went missing. She was unrightfully given as a baby to the couple who raised her as a daughter. Now her biological grandmother requests her custody.

Appraisal: Exemplarily correct, extremely well directed, with a uniformly perfect cast, but, on the other hand, very predictable, and posing no challenge whatsoever for the viewer.

Rating: 52
