About This Movie

Playback (2019) is a poignant documentary that captures a unique slice of life in Córdoba, focusing on the aftermath of a military regime and the fleeting hope that followed. It’s about La Delpi, the last standing survivor of a vibrant group of transgender women and drag queens who faced the harsh realities of the AIDS crisis in the late '80s. The film’s atmosphere is heavy yet intimate, with a reflective pace that invites viewers to absorb the emotional weight of its subjects’ stories. The practical effects are minimal, relying instead on raw performances that speak volumes. The themes of resilience and loss intertwine beautifully, making it a noteworthy exploration of both personal and collective histories in a conservative backdrop.
