A corpse appears in the underground tunnels of a house, or perhaps they're the dark corridors of the subway. The dead man doesn't speak, yet stories are woven around him. Just like in a novel, the characters create their own fiction, a story to tell to children, to society, or a way to imagine the missing passages of recent Argentine history. Félix the pool attendant and Kike the subway employee, both writers, take us, not without humor, to a narrative beyond the daily life: What remains to be resolved? How do you clean a pool full of frogs? Who is the dead man in the trunk? Is he one of the many people who disappeared during the dictatorship?
Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, a pro-Palestinian communist resistance fighter, is France's longest-serving political prisoner. Incarcerated for 40 years, he remains a symbol. He was suspected of being behind the attacks that sowed chaos in 1980s Paris and was convicted of murdering two diplomats. In the film *The Abdallah Affair*, which Pierre Carles dedicates to him, we discover a deeply troubling story: a country choosing an ideal scapegoat. An incredible piece of fake news and intense pressure exerted by the United States on France are at the root of this extraordinary length of detention. The official media machine went into overdrive, serving a national interest, blind and deaf to all the ambiguities of this case, which this documentary exposes. Georges Abdallah was imprisoned in France for nearly 41 years. Wrongfully. At 74, he managed to leave prison, standing tall, his political convictions intact.
