Plot.

Dad Iván, is the testimony of the daughter of a Montonero guerilla leader that died during combat: Iván Roqué, the Iván in the title and father of the director. The documentary exposes in a moving way the difficult relationship between a daughter and her heroic, mythified father. At the same time it also becomes not only the reflection of a daughter but of an entire generation, about the feelings of abandoment, abscense, the tragedy, the exile and death. Feelings, ideas, dreams and facts are confronted. Tears are shed as much as admiration is expressed for the father, he is questioned as strongly as he is veneered.

Wiki.

Father Ivan was co-produced by Argentina and Mexico and was directed by Mara Inés Roqué. In the film, the director conveys with words and images her gaze on her father Juan Julio Roqué, who was one of the founding members of the guerrilla organization Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) and leader of the guerrilla organization Montoneros. Roqué, who was killed by the military dictatorship in 1977, was responsible for the justice of the Secretary General of the Confederation General of Labour José Ignacio Rucci. The director states at the beginning of the film. It would be better to have a living father than a dead hero.
