Juan and Marcos are two small-time swindlers, one a young man and the other a veteran in the art of swindling, who happen to get involved in an affair that could make them millionaires: they have less than a day to pull off a scam that can’t fail.
Restored and released in 2025, the multi-award winning heist satire stars the ubiquetous Ricardo Darín this time playing experienced con artist Marcos who recruits the more novice Juan to embark on a more complex scam: selling a replica set of rare but forged German stamps.
The plan starts to unravel and the many twists and turns leave us guessing until the very last minute.
The film, originally released in 2000, garned much critical acclaim for its tight script and humour and its allegorical indictment of endemic corruption, reflecting the fallout of the economic crisis of the time.
