Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed
Buy ticketsA criminal lottery empire unravels as family secrets come to light in a tense drama set in the underworld of Buenos Aires.
The Felpetos family runs a successful (and illegal) lottery operation, long controlled with an iron grip by matriarch Alejandra. As authorities ramp up their efforts against the city’s criminal networks, heir Maribel is forced to confront a secret that shakes the tightly knit mafia family to its core. Incorporating documentary elements, including casting his own parents, director Hernán Rosselli (Mauro, GFF 2015) skillfully plants clues that both foreshadow the plot’s resolution and reveal the history of the crime dynasty. This gritty crime drama exudes sweaty authenticity, immersing viewers in its gray-toned, high-stakes world.
