The lives of two employees in a drab, stifling Buenos Aires bank are intertwined – and upended – when one of them, Moran (Daniel Elias), steals several hundred thousand dollars from the vault and persuades the other, Ramon (Esteban Bigliardi), to hide the money until Moran has served the resulting prison sentence.

It is a fairly familiar crime thriller setup, yet this playful, effortlessly engrossing picture from Rodrigo Moreno takes a series of deliciously confounding turns. Leisurely, elliptical, enigmatic but guided with a sure hand, the film is preoccupied with duality: work versus leisure, routine versus spontaneity, restriction versus freedom, familiarity versus discovery. This is a rewarding, humorous fable that meanders between the city and the Cordoba hills, via lakes, hills, and a stint in prison.
