| Summary: | Based on true events, this multiple award-winning film tells the unsettling story of Hermógenes, a humble illiterate farmhand who arrives in Buenos Aires in search of a job. When Don Latuada puts him in charge of one of his butcher shops he is extremely grateful. In exchange, he forces him to disguise and sell rotten meat while subjecting him, by means of pressure and extortion, to slavery. The overwhelming manipulation and escalating cruelty will inevitably lead to tragedy…. Winner of Best Actor and Best Screenplay from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of Argentina.. “First time feature writer-director Sebastian Schindel very delicately tackles some of the thorniest issues facing Argentina, among them regionalism, class discrepancies, corruption and judicial rigidity and does so in an unfussy style suited to the material.” – Elizabeth Kerr, Hollywood Reporter |
