Uruguay in the 1970s had all the ingredients for shady dealings and get-rich-quick schemes: bankrupted institutions, a military government putting subversives behind bars and the rapidly devaluing currencies of neighboring countries Brazil and Argentina. This is where small-time money launderer Humberto Brause shines, sponsored by his father-in-law, a veteran in the business of capital flight. But as the deals keep getting bigger, Humberto finds himself in over his head, and the biggest job he has had so far could cost him his life. This offbeat comedic thriller from leading Uruguayan director Federico Veiroj (THE APOSTATE, BELMONTE) is a character study of a man you love to hate, played brilliantly by Daniel Hendler. Official Selection, 2019 Toronto, San Sebastián, New York, Chicago and Tallinn Black Nights film festivals; 2020 Rotterdam and Göteborg film festivals. DIR/SCR Federico Veiroj; SCR Arauco Hernández Holz, Martín Mauregui, from the novel by Juan Enrique Gruber; PROD Diego Robino, Santiago López Rodríguez. Uruguay/Argentina/Germany, 2019, color, 97 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. NOT RATED
