 PM\n\n\nSynopsis\n\nI Miss You is the story of Javier’s exile. Javier is 
 an 15 year old Argentinean boy who leaves his home for Mexico City burdened 
 with the tragedy of his missing brother, a premature separation from his 
 family and the weight of collective guilt.\nThe story explores adolescence 
 and the birth of individual identity with all its shadows and lights. The 
 tenderness, perplexity and pain of growing up are mixed in a vision of the 
 world which expands and contracts during the experience of exile.\nJavier 
 grows, discovers love, sex, his basic needs for affection, and his 
 helplessness —but at the same time struggles to separate himself from his 
 missing brother.\nThis is also the story of the struggle and impotence of a 
 middle-class Jewish family torn between guilt, denial, and fear. In the 
 background we see the Argentina of the beginnings of the dictatorship, its 
 society, trying hard not to see what’s going on, to shelter itself from 
 state terrorism, as well as the stark contrast of the Mexico of the 
 1970s.\n\n \n\nThe character’s conflict lies in having to live the fate 
 of his missing brother, being an absurd fugitive, having to emigrate to a 
 place of which he knows nothing more than the name. The one who should have 
 gone to Mexico was Adrián, the one that should have run away to save his 
 neck, the one who should have survived; he had a vision about what to do in 
 the world, he was the one who knew how to change it. He was brave, he 
 really put his life on the line. He is the one everyone misses, the one who 
 has left an unbridgeable vacuum in his family’s life. Adrián, who used 
 to chew his ¬ngernails, who had asthma, who made everyone laugh with his 
 dark sense of humor. He had it in him to become the triumphant guerrilla 
 commander that the people would love, he had charisma, he wasn’t 
 me...\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/07/01/18652413.php
