Plot

The business of the Donato family, an Italian-Argentine criminal organization, is a success. They have bought judges, lawyers and even politicians, but after a kidnapping goes wrong, a civil war starts in the Donato crime family.

Sinekatalog’s take

An Argentine crime drama about an Italian-Argentine crime family whose empire cracks open after a kidnapping goes wrong. Torre Nilsson looks at corruption and betrayal with a cold eye. Good for fans of gangster stories outside Hollywood.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
