    • Synopsis
    • During the Falklands war, more than one thousand Argentinian soldiers were hurt. Many of them have been under the care of fourteen nurses in a mobile hospital in Comodoro Rivadavia. After 37 years of silence, Alicia, Stella and Ana, are back in the place where everything happened to tell their story.
      Women were also there is a documentary film that wants to recuperate the history of the women that took part in the Falklands War. With the return of three nurses to Comodoro Rivadavia, to the place where they took care of the injuries of soldiers coming from the islands, we want to give voice to the silence of these women and understand reality from a new sensitive perspective. In direct contact with places, sounds, landscapes, we accompany the protagonists in the research for their memories and feelings that survived even after more than 30 years of forget, to better understand a dark moment of the recent history.
