Set in the magical backdrop of Buenes Aires, Argentina, IMAGINING ARGENTINA features an all-star cast that includes sultry Latin lover Antonio Banderas and esteemed British actress Emma Thompson. Adapted from the acclaimed novel by Lawrence Thornton, the narrative follows theatre director Carlos (Banderas) and his journalist wife Cecilia (Thompson) as they navigate the war-ridden country of the 1970s. When Cecilia is kidnapped by the military junta in power for writing oppositional pieces about their government, Carlos becomes plagued by "visions" of his imprisoned wife and other dissidents who have "disappeared." A daring mixture of luscious magical realism and political commentary, IMAGINING ARGENTINA premiered at the world-renowned Venice Film Festival to great acclaim.
