On 23 November 1977, during Argentina’s last civil-military dictatorship, Claudio Tamburrini Rodrigo De la Serna, a goalie for a minor league soccer team in Buenos Aires, is abducted by members of the Argentine secret military police. He is taken to a detention center known as Mansión Seré—an old, dilapidated house in the suburban neighborhood of Morón—on the suspicion that he is a guerrilla opponent of the regime. Blindfolded, Tamburrini endures daily torture as his jailers press for information he does not have, because he is not a political activist. He discovers that an acquaintance nicknamed El Tano has lied under torture and falsely implicated him, claiming Tamburrini possesses a mimeograph.
