Lucas Esquriol

It's Christmas Eve and a coup attempt happens at the Parliament. In a deserted newspaper's office, the boss tries desperately to rally the troops for this unique event. But on a night like that, it's very hard to catch the public's interest… and little by little, a strange melancholy enters the hearts of the journalists who resign themselves.

Checco. A splendid loser who'd like to be a gangster, just like in the movies. Angie. A young woman who desperately tries to be normal. When he finds himself dragged into a life-threatening plot, she's the one who'll get to save him. Together, they'll forge their best creation: the Baron. Just like them, a no-budget film which passionately dreams to be like a true film noir, with its plot as clear as mud, crossed by hints of fantasy and absurd, under the influence of Boris Vian and Dashiell Hammett.
