The article analyzes the film ‘Garage Olimpo’ through the figures of the victim and the ‘victimary’ or agressor. Grounded on Walter Benjamin, Homi Bhabha and Michel Foucault, it seeks to acknowledge the need of historical memory as a way of preventing the repetition of barbarism and of promoting intergenerational transmission.
