The Delinquents
dir. Rodrigo Moreno · 2023
Life often presents moral dilemmas that challenge our sense of right and wrong, forcing us to confront the consequences of our choices.
Morán, a bank clerk in Buenos Aires, reveals to his colleague Román that he has stolen $650,000, a sum that could change their lives forever. As they sit down for dinner, the conversation shifts from mundane office chatter to the weighty implications of Morán's confession, leading to a blend of humor and existential reflection. Watching this film feels like eavesdropping on a conversation that oscillates between absurdity and gravity, where every decision carries the potential for both comedy and catastrophe.
Morán works as a clerk in a bank in Buenos Aires. He is as good as invisible to his colleagues. Over dinner with his colleague Román, Morán tells him that he stole exactly $650,000, which is exactly double what he would have made until his retirement. He plans to turn himself in, but not before offering Román to split the money if agrees to hide it for the duration of his incarceration.
