Netflix unveiled the first-look images from Villaflor, the new film by acclaimed Argentine filmmaker Santiago Mitre. Produced in Argentina, the film stars Ver nica Llin s as Azucena Villaflor and Peter Lanzani as Rubio Alfredo Astiz.

Based on true events, this political thriller blends espionage and historical drama, following two stories in 1977 that move in opposite directions. On one side, Rubio (Lanzani), a Armylieutenant, is tasked with infiltrating the Santa Cruz Church, where a group of relatives has begun organizing to demand answers about their disappeared loved ones. On the other, Azucena Villaflor (Llin s) transforms the search for her son into an act of collective resistance that challenges Argentina's Military Dictatorship.

As Rubio gains the trust of French nun Alice Domon and later Azucena herself, the film simultaneously portrays the birth of an unprecedented form of civil resistance against state terrorism and the infiltration operation designed to destroy it.

Written by Santiago Mitre and Mariano Llin s and produced by La Uni n de los R os (Argentina) and Maneki Films (France), the film also features an outstanding cast. Camille Cottin portrays Alice Domon, one of the French nuns involved with the Santa Cruz Group. Joining her are Soledad Villamil, Valeria Lois, Susana Pampin, Alicia Guerra, Vivian El Jaber, Azul Lombard a, Mariela Acosta, Paula Ransenberg, Juliana Muras and Muriel Santa Ana, who bring to life some of the women who stood alongside Azucena during the early days of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, one of the most politically significant social movements in Argentina's history. The cast also includes Antonia Bengoechea, Jos Mehrez and Enrique Pi eyro, among others.

Production, which wrapped today, spanned 12 weeks across multiple locations in Buenos Aires, Avellaneda, Berazategui, Lan s, Tres de Febrero, Vicente L pez, San Isidro, Lomas de Zamora, and Partido de la Costa.

Villaflor will premiere on Netflix in 2027.
