En 24 horas o un poco más, Juan y Marcos vivirán la experiencia de sus vidas. Dos minúsculos estafadores que habitualmente trabajaban por unos pocos pesos, se conocerán fortuitamente una madrugada, e imprevistamente se verán envueltos en un negocio de centenares de millones.

Un negocio urgente, inmediato, tanto que no les permitirá dudar. Como en un juego de cajas chinas, las enseñanzas de Marcos a su joven e inexperto colega, se irá pareciendo cada vez más a lo que en realidad les va sucediendo a cada paso de esa jornada inusual.

Argentine filmmaker Fabian Bielinsky makes his directorial debut with this taut crime thriller about a stamp and con artists on the make. The film opens with low-rent hustler Juan (Gaston Pauls) trying to scam the workers in a convenience store when Marcos (Ricardo Darin) steps in to arrest him. In truth, Marcos is veteran con himself and the two split the money after fleeing the scene. Soon after, Marcos asks Juan to be his partner in a series of small-time jobs. When Juan gets a message from his sister, the two head to the tony hotel where she works. There they try to pull off a big con that was initially planned by an aging criminal too ill to do it. The swindle centers around a fantastically accurate forgery of a rare stamp called the Nine Queens. As the two doggedly try to set up the deal, mobsters and the like learn of the job and try to horn in. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival.
