    Uruguay's "Tupamaro", check it out: it was originally a political movement in Montevideo by some students and professors. In the 1960s, it started by robbing banks and gun shops, distributing money and food among the poor. Later, the conflict with the military government escalated, and the People's Prison was established to earn ransom by kidnapping dignitaries and envoys of various countries, and assassinating CIA and dissidents in their own countries. The protagonists of this film are the...

    What is rare is that the despair at the beginning is accompanied by a little bit of hope. In the midst of misery and history, hope is getting brighter and brighter. In the absence of narrative help, it is fortunate that the power of emotion supports the...

    Every country has its own black box of history, and countries that have the courage to face the dark history are worthy of respect.

A Twelve-Year Night quotes

  • José Mujica: I haven't read in 7 years.

    Psiquiatra: You have to cling to anything you can right now, Mujica. Are you religious? Do you believe in God?

    José Mujica: What God would do this?

    Psiquiatra: Unfortunately, the only one we've got.

    José Mujica: If the god you believe in remain silent, and you say I'm crazy, what do I cling to?

  • José Mujica: What do you think they are? Nuns in a charity?

    Lucy: Shut up! Shut up! Listen to me! I'm the one you have to listen to! I'm your mother. They want to drive you crazy. You can't let them. Do you understand?

    José Mujica: Mom...

    Lucy: Mom my ass! Listen to me. Listen to what I have to say. You have to resist. Resist any way you can, no matter what happens. Resist and don't let them kill you.

    José Mujica: I don't know what to do.

    Lucy: Yes, you do. The only defeated are the ones who stop fighting. You'll get through this and move on. And nobody... Nobody will take what you have inside.
