What happens

El grito de Celina (Celina's Cry) is a 1983 Argentine romantic drama film directed by Mario David, who also wrote the script, which is based on a short story by Bernardo Kordon. It stars María Rosa Gallo, Selva Alemán, Miguel Ángel Solá and María Vaner. Víctor Proncet composed the soundtrack. The film was shot in 1975, but it didn't premiere until May 1983 due to military government disapproval and censorship at the time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
