Pizza, Beer, and Cigarettes
Four friends. One city. One way out.
Directed by Adrián Caetano, Bruno Stagnaro
Produced by Hubert Bals Fund, Palo y a la Bolsa Cine
A gritty crime drama about desperate young men in Buenos Aires chasing an escape through increasingly risky robberies, driven by friendship and the dream of a better life elsewhere.
A couple of friends work for a taxi driver to rob his passengers, but they feel like they're getting ripped off. They decide to plan their own robberies, but they are amateurs and things don't go too well. One of the youths, Cordoba, whose girlfriend Sandra is pregnant, just wants to get enough cash so they can leave Argentina and get to Uruguay to start a new life. He and his friends plan one last robbery, but things don't go as planned.
