“Argentina, 1985” is inspired by the true story of prosecutors Julio Strassera and Luis Moreno Ocampo, a duo who dared to investigate and prosecute Argentina's bloody military dictatorship in 1985.

In addition to the duo, the feature has names in its cast such as Alejandra Flechner, Carlos Portaluppi, Norman Briski, Héctor Díaz, Alejo García Pintos, Claudio Da Passano, Gina Mastronicola, Walter Jakob and Laura Paredes.
