The Delinquents (Los Delincuentes)
Synopsis
In Buenos Aires, the disillusioned bank officer Morán steals just enough money for a modest retirement so that he can forgot the rat race and spend his days reading poetry and farming in the Argentinian countryside. He reveals his scheme to a colleague, Román, explaining that he will turn himself in for the theft and asks Román to guard the money during his incarceration. Román agrees but soon faces investigative pressure from the bank, leading both men on a transformative quest for personal freedom.
A playful take on the heist genre which questions the nature and purpose of work. With its subversive narrative structure and skillful balance of comedy and drama, The Delinquents offers a clever meditation on the constraints of life under capitalism.
