Abstract
The exact shape of the islands, directed by Daniel Casabé and Edgardo Dieleke (2012), starring Julieta Vitullo, also the co-writer of the film, documents two trips to the Malvinas Islands in 2006 and 2010 from a feminine, vitalist perspective. The contribution analizes the film as a vehicle of intimate and public traumatic memories and mourning. It suggests that the documentary continues a way of thinking “Malvinas” centered on the individual and collective body that León Rozitchner inaugurated in 1982, and reflects on the present day islands from the standpoint of what Verónica Gago (2019) understands as the vital key of a body-territory.
