There were riots in Buenos Aires in 1919, the year that Eva Peron was born. Communists predicted a workers' uprising. The elite were willing to do anything to hold onto power. Neither paid much attention to the indigenous peoples of the country, most of whom had been massacred or driven to the farthest reaches of the plains or jungles. Of the ethic European population, only those farming in such remote regions came into contact with them. Yet as their numbers dwindled, their European contacts finally began to recognise the full horror of what they had done, and in the shadow of guilt, fear and superstition began to grow.

Exclusive: Paris-based outfit Reel Suspects has picked up international sales rights to Argentine horror Los Que Vuelven (The Returned) which this week has its world premiere at Argentina’s premier film festival Mar del Plata.
Writer-director Laura Casabé’s period film set in 1919 follows a wealthy landowner’s wife who gives birth to her third stillborn child. Desperate, the woman asks her indigenous housekeeper to bring the child back to life, but when she arrives the baby’s not alone.

Casabé’s previous films have played at festivals including Sitges, FrightFest, Sanfic, Bifff and Guadalajara.
