★ 7.52014
MovieDramaCrime
This incredibly disturbing story follows the exploitation of an apprentice butcher, Hermógenes, and his trial after he murders his boss in broad daylight. Hermógenes, a farmhand from northern Argentina, relocates to Buenos Aires in search of a better life for himself and his young wife, but soon finds himself at the mercy of a corrupt boss. The film is based on a thorough investigation of a real event that happened in Buenos Aires 10 years ago. Almost every scene in the film is inspired by real facts or based on well documented daily practices of the “meat business” and its environment. Both a shocking exposé of unscrupulous practices in the meat industry and a heart-wrenching personal story, El Patrón became one of the most successful Argentine films of 2014.

MovieComedy
A junior soccer tournament in the Argentinian countryside. The proud players' fathers, Chato and Lopez, are nervous. Scouts from the big clubs in Buenos Aires have traveled to see the boys play. Ideally, they'll get a contract with a club in the capital, and from there, many have already made it to Europe and big money. But shortly after the game, the scout makes it clear: neither boy is good enough. One has the brain, the other has the legs—that mix, that would be something! Chato and Lopez are dejected. But Lopez has an idea. After all, talent is genetic, and his mother-in-law does the same with her cows. He suggests a cross between Chato and his wife, and vice versa. After initial skepticism and thanks to their open-minded wives, the ceremony takes place under the close observation of their mothers-in-law. And indeed, nine months later, the news: It's a boy!
