Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed

An exciting fictional tale with documentary elements that recalls early Scorsese, set in the world of illegal gambling on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

The title of the film refers to an Argentine tradition involving the bride's attire on her wedding day, believed to act as a talisman for good luck. The story follows a real family involved in illegal gambling in a poor suburb of Buenos Aires, who portray scripted doppelgänger versions of themselves in a tale of love, revenge, and violence, though without a trace of gloom. The result is a truly unique crime thriller reminiscent of early Scorsese—both unsettling and captivating. The film premiered at this year's Directors' Fortnight in Cannes.

“A nostalgic and humorous film about Argentina's parallel economy”
