About Por un polvo
A beautiful seductress draws a man in the midst of a mid-life crisis into a sordid world of drugs, crime, and debauchery. Alejandro is down on his luck. Unemployed and loveless, he falls hard for beautiful Vanessa when fate brings the two together seemingly by chance. But Vanessa's boyfriend is a hit man for the mob, and despite at first feeling swept up in circumstances beyond his control, Alejandro soon realizes that in order to regain his confidence, he must embrace his destiny.
Directed by Carlos Daniel Malavé, Por un polvo leans on a strong ensemble — Jean Paul Leroux, Jessika Grau, Roberto Moll — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2008.
