The last ones
Los Últimos is the remake of the frustrated Pozo de Zorro, by Miguel Mirra himself. A group of soldiers is isolated after a bloody battle, but they refuse to surrender. The Malvinas war is approached by Miguel Mirra from a different perspective than that known until now. The Last Ones is a war drama where there is no room for guilt and commiseration.
