There’s one born every day and Ernesto (Alterio) has spent his life learning how to cheat them, thanks to elderly mentor El Manco (Alexandre). One day, the old man introduces him to the best in their trade, the elegant grifter Ernesto (Luppi) who has a proposition for a con that will set them up for life. The only catch is the involvement of his former lover and partner (Abril) who swindled him years ago. Who’s cheating who in this star-studded, suitably twisty thriller? (Independent Cinema Office)
