Humberto Brause takes advantage of Uruguay’s poor economy by specializing in offshore money laundering. Spanning the fifties to the seventies, the film follows Humberto as he gets increasingly in over his head with multiple shady book-cooking schemes throughout South America, leading to an ultimate life-or-death decision.
Set in a classical Uruguayan folk story, we follow El Negro, a young argentine man stepping into a new town. He seeks his fortune, but must face the town's true matriarch, Doña Ofelia, and her watchful cat, Mandinga.
