Pizza, Birra, Faso (Argentina, 1997)
"El Cordobés", as his friends call him, is a runaway teenager with a pregnant girlfriend. Worst of all, he has no job, he steals in order to survive everyday in Buenos Aires. We follow him throughout the film and learn how he steals money from taxi drivers and people on the street. When he gets involved in a robbery at a nighclub, things do not go as expected, and el Cordobés is faced with the hard truth of being homeless and with no future, neither for him nor for his girlfirend. Funny at times, the movie is yet a cruel reminder of how a lot of people live in many Latin American countries.
