EL BONAERENSE
35-year-old Zapa is a regular, hard-working guy, a locksmith living in in
rural Argentina. When his boss asks him to do a special job for some
special clients, Zapa agrees – he has no choice. They break into a drug
store and Zapa cracks the safe. The clients stuff their bags. To avoid
prison, he is forced to leave his family his birthplace for the concrete
wastes of Buenos Aires, where he signs up as a police cadet. After months of punishing training, he graduates with flying colours. Zapa is now a Bonaerense: a member of the most brutal and corrupt police force in Argentina. Time passes. Zapa prospers. He no longer thinks about his past. Now he has the power, now he makes the rules. There’s no going back.
