When Roman’s girlfriend disappears, he enlists the help of their friend Ali to find her. After searching her online history they trace her back to an old stately home in the centre of Buenos Aires, but they soon regret setting foot in the house when they discover it is home to two geriatric former-members of the Triple-A, one of Argentina’s most notorious death squads in the 1970s. These two cantankerous old coots may not be as physically active as they were in their heyday, but this hasn’t been an obstacle to their deranged retirement plan: to lure young women online to subject them to a series of re-education experiments for some unspecified purpose. Old habits clearly die hard, and with 25 boxes of decades-old explosives at their disposal, these failed revolutionaries will stop at nothing to force the compliance of their captives, even if they have to douse them in highly unstable nitroglycerine to do it…
