Blessed By Fire is the story of two young men sent to fight the 1982 war in the Falkland Islands (or as they are known in Argentina the Malvinas) who return home bearing the brutal scars of war. Twenty years after the war`s end journalist Esteban Leguizam�n is informed that Alberto Vargas one of the men he served with has attempted to commit suicide after suffering from years of depression brought on by his experiences in the war. Esteban visits the comatose Vargas at the hospital and in a series of extended flashbacks revisits the scene of Argentina`s "unwinnable war."
