Southeast
A journalist interviews a general from the Process a few days after the defeat in the Falklands War. The general's speech is brutally sincere. These are the words that no Argentine military officer would say, has said, or will say. The idea is to exploit one of the feelings many people experience during the trials of repressors: it's strange that no one explicitly admits a single truth. The irony of this story is built on this sense of need to listen, with a certain moral and political awareness.
