The film captures the untold stories of the everyday people in Argentina: a man who was shot in the head during a protest and the man who saved him, a poor priest railing against police mafias and operating a soup kitchen out of his home, and an unfortunate picketer who was shot and killed while trying to help a fellow comrade who had been shot by the police.
The Dignity of the Nobodies is both a tragedy of the rampant poverty that rages through Argentina and the horror stories of these people's oppression, but it is also a dark fairy-tale illustrating that everyday people can and do change the world we live in for the better every day.
