The Debt

The Debt tells the story of an Argentine teacher sent to a remote village in Jujuy. The film delves into the relationships he forms with the villagers, particularly focusing on a young boy named Verónico. Verónico faces the challenges of losing his mother and having a father who is absent in search of work.

Based on a non-fiction book by Fortunato Ramos, the film reflects the realities of teaching in rural Argentina during a turbulent period. Its themes of loss, education, and community are woven throughout the narrative, making it a poignant exploration of human connection amidst the backdrop of the Falklands War.
