Why we chose it

For years a taxidermist has planned perfect robberies in his head, never meaning to go through with them, until now. Fabián Bielinsky made only two films before he died at 47, and this cold, gripping thriller caused a sensation in Argentina.

Synopsis

Esteban keeps to himself, has epilepsy and is genuinely good at stuffing dead animals. On a hunting trip with a friend in a Patagonian forest, he has a seizure among the trees, and when it passes he fires at a deer but hits a man instead. Before he died, the man had been preparing a casino robbery, and the plan is ready down to the last detail.
