El bonaerense
(El bonaerense)

35-year-old Zapa is a regular, hard-working locksmith living 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 drugstore and Zapa cracks the safe. The clients stuff their bags. To avoid prison, he is forced to leave his family and 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 makes the rules. There’s no going back.
