Truco
The new film by César González follows a maintenance employee at a printing house whose routine, almost as automatic as the movements of the company machines, is altered when she makes a decision that threatens both her job and her everyday life in the neighborhood.
An essay on the existential actuality of the human being located in the Argentinean here and now. A history of singularities, which are mostly traversed by violence and marginality.
A humble worker, several young thieves at dawn of violence, the dream of a better present that collides with the most cruel discrimination, a car that moves forward collecting the waste of the postmodern city.
Popular neighborhoods that are open-air prisons. Where beauty flirts with violence. The kingdom of the insubordinate children, veterans of the lead. A garden of amputated flowers, which with crutches on their backs, still grow and dance.
An object crosses the paths of Alejandro and Soledad, a journalist and a young woman born on December 20, 2001. Together, they discover the traces of an event swept under the carpet by power, but present in Argentine popular memory.
