ARGENTINA
CARANCHO

The latest film from festival favorite Pablo Trapero explores an Argentine underworld of seedy lawyers, ambulance chasers and insurance fraudsters. Ricardo Darin (THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES) ekes out a living as an ambulance-chasing personal injury lawyer, skimming insurance payments from some clients and faking accidents for others. In the hospital he meets emergency room doctor Martina Gusman (LION'S DEN), who is serious minded and hard working, but maintains a secret drug habit. Despite initial misgivings, she's drawn to Darin. When the two plot to double-cross Darin's crooked employers, what begins as mere larceny accelerates to something more deadly. Official Selection, 2010 Cannes Film Festival.
