An object crosses the paths of Alejandro and Soledad, a journalist and a young woman born on December 20, 2001. Together, they discover the traces of an event swept under the carpet by power, but present in Argentine popular memory.

María Estela Martínez, better known as Isabel Perón, achieved what Evita Perón never could: From an unknown cabaret dancer she became the first female president of the Americas. But after surviving prison and exile under South America’s most brutal military dictatorship, Isabel was forgotten in popular memory. “Una casa sin cortinas” (A House Without Curtains) uncovers why Isabel still haunts Argentina today.
