Marcelo Figueras is a famous Argentine journalist, famous throughout Latin America for his brilliant interviews with Madonna, Julia Roberts, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Woody Allen, Arthur Miller and other bright stars. In the late 90s, he turned to the craft of a film screenwriter, and then published several novels that were a huge success. The film “Kamchatka” (2002), based on his book by the famous Argentinean Marcelo Pineiro, was nominated for an Oscar as best foreign film and was awarded the highest Spanish film award, Goya. The novel “Kamchatka” is a wise, funny and touching story about difficult and the brutal times of the military dictatorship of the 1970s... A ten-year-old boy with his parents and younger brother hastily leave Buenos Aires and hide in someone's dacha. Ten years is the most suitable age to live in two parallel worlds: in the realm of children's games, comics and fantasies and in the adult everyday life of strict secrecy. “Kamchatka” for a child is the name of a small but free and unconquered country. This name becomes a symbol of perseverance and love for the boy.
