Les Z-héros

The year is 2001, and Argentina is hitting the lowest point in its great depression. His glory days far behind him, retired soccer star Fermín (Darín senior) now runs a service station in a sleepy provincial town. Hoping to pull his family and their community out of decline, Fermín convinces friends and neighbours to invest with him to create a storage business, only for the fledgling co-operative to be railroaded by a conniving bank manager and a corrupt lawyer. Their money is placed into a savings account just as the banks are about to be frozen by the government, quashing their plans. They lose everything. For a time things seem only to get worse, until rumours spread of a secret depository containing the co-op’s pilfered cash and much, much more. With Fermín as their Robin Hood-esque leader, the group conspires to infiltrate the cache... Revenge has never felt so satisfying - or sweetly ironic. (Palace Films)
