An Ungentlemanly Act

Pampa in Patagonia. June 1982. A chance encounter between a mute Argentine man who isn't mute, a lying Chilean woman who tells the truth, and some terrifying but actually scared shitless English soldiers gives rise to a dramatic comedy that summarizes three opportunities—the same opportunities that Argentina, Chile, and England failed to take in June 1982.

Ángela Ferrer lost her grandson during the Falklands War. A year has passed since the end of the war, and Ángela has not resigned herself to accepting her grandson's death, much less to not being able to visit his grave and pay him the tribute she considers more than deserved. Today, Ángela searches the cemetery for an abandoned grave that could serve as a space to visit her grandson. Finally, she decides on one that shows signs of neglect. She refurbishes it and leaves behind a small painting she made, in which we see a sailboat sailing across the sea. These visits take place weekly, while Ángela continues her daily routine, until one day they are suddenly interrupted.

A former soldier reunites with his comrades, who are unaware that they are dead.

Alex and Dani, two Kelper children living in Stanley, Falkland Islands, skip school to play in the fields, as they usually do every day. One afternoon, when they discover a black, viscous liquid they believe to be oil, their historical differences come to light.

Daniela – a single mother, whose boyfriend left for the US – believes wholeheartedly in Cuba's revolutionary new order. Meanwhile, in Florida, a plot is afoot. Under the command of an American officer, four Cubans ex-patriots and a Guatemalan land on the Cuban coast to prepare a US invasion of the island. Daniela's superior, the corrupt Cuban officer Palomino, is secretly helping the invaders and the young woman becomes entangled in the intrigue.
