Synopsis
Grandpa, why did they try to kill you? Documentary that delves into the director's search to learn about the participation that his grandfather had as dean auditor of the FADU during the last civic-military dictatorship and his relationship with the former School of Mechanics of the Navy (ESMA). The film not only investigates within the filmmaker's family, but transcends this individual gaze to understand what was the political project of the student movement that the military saw so necessary to suppress.
