PENDEJO

“Blood makes you related. Complicity makes you family.”

Synopsis

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.
