Chronicle of a Disappearance unfolds in a series of seemingly unconnected cinematic tableaux, each of them focused on incidents or characters which seldom reappear later in the film. Among the many unrelated scenes, there is a Palestinian actress struggling to find an apartment in West Jerusalem, the owner of the Holy Land souvenir shop preparing merchandise for incoming Japanese tourists, a group of old women gossiping about their relatives, and an Israeli police van which screeches to a halt so several heavily armed soldiers can get off the car and urinate.

Rodada entre los años 1970 y 1980, investiga las causas y motivos del genocidio desde el nivel de la experiencia: los paisajes de los campos de exterminio y los guetos, las rutinas diarias de los encarcelados, el inexorable trauma de la humillación, el castigo y el exterminio, y los fascinantes y escalofriantes testimonios de aquellos que lo experimentaron de primera mano, salvaguardando para siempre en el tiempo las palabras de aquellos que sobrevivieron. Las imágenes de archivo están desterradas en la obra de Lanzmann y son estas mismas palabras las que ejercen como vehículo y alma de la narración. La obra de un genio, un esfuerzo heróico por humanizar lo inhumano, por narrar lo inarrable y explorar con un detalle sin precedentes los horrores del pasado.
