Emboscada
Synopsis
An Argentine photographer, correspondent in the war in the former Yugoslavia, who is fired in 2002 for refusing to fire colleagues at a TV channel, keeps his compensation in a bank in Buenos Aires and looks for work. Suddenly, “el corralito” appears and, despite a law approved in Congress, the Government does not respect it and negotiates with the money from savers. Given this, the photographer surrounds his body with sticks of dynamite, goes to the bank where he has his $150,000 and threatens to blow up everyone who is there if they don't give him theirs. When he is released from prison, he flees and seeks refuge where he was born and raised 35 years ago. There he meets his best friend, who helps him defend his life.
