PENDEJO

Blood makes you related. Complicity makes you family.

PG-13 2025 · 6 min · Comedy, Crime, Family

Argentina, 1971. In the height of summer, a teenage greaser drives a stolen red Mustang down a desert highway. When the police finally stop him, everything seems headed toward punishment, until his father intervenes and the situation takes an unexpected turn. What begins as a youthful chase becomes a sharp portrait of family tensions and a world where authority blurs, rules bend easily, and cunning is passed down as an inheritance.
