Why we chose it

They called him the Angel of Death because his face looked so innocent. Carlos Robledo Puch started as a teenager, confessed to eleven murders and is Argentina’s longest-serving prisoner. The film about him is stylish and loud with rock’n’roll, and the real Puch was outraged by it.

Synopsis

In Buenos Aires in 1971, seventeen-year-old Carlitos has the face of an angel and has been breaking into houses since he was a child. At his new school he meets Ramón, a handsome older boy whose father is a professional thief, and the two of them start working together. Every job is more dangerous than the last, and only one of them minds.
