Synopsis
Three stories that form part of a single story. In 1941, in a city in provincial Argentina, a girl confesses to a priest the first uncertain sexual impulses she notes in her body, related to the attraction she feels for a young man with the surname Videla who passes beneath her window each day.
In 1977, a group of young revolutionaries prepares an attack on a Videla who is no longer young and whose name is now known to everybody. Finally, an old woman – the girl from the first story – plays a game of cards with her grandson who has come to visit her in the residence where she spends her days, and between moves tells him what happened to her son, the boy’s father, in what turns out to be a new confession. Three stories and three periods that interweave to forge a single story. Three stories that speak of pain, guilt and confessions.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Brutal and overwhelming, Confession wrestles with the legacy of Argentina?s past and the passions of one young girl.When Mirta López looks out the dining room window, she sees a slim, self-possessed older boy on his way back from school. It?s 1941 in provincial Argentina, and the sight has awakened in her the first uncertain, unnerving vibrations of desire. Naturally, she confesses. But she cannot stop herself.Over thirty years later, in 1977, that same young man is a general, leading the ruling military junta of a country, and a cell of young revolutionaries plot an audacious attack on him, and the regime.Writing from the present into the past, Martín Kohan maps the contours of Argentina?s 20th century, but finds his centre in one woman ? devout, headstrong, lit up with ideas of right and wrong ? not the grand historical figures of her lifetime?s omnipresent, brutalizing history. And yet, there is great beauty in Confession , its decades and landscapes, and the legacy of love and guilt, pieties religious and civic, that play out in one family and against the background of dictatorship?s traumas.
