About El bonaerense
Zapa is a locksmith in a remote and quiet little town, lost somewhere deep in the province of Buenos Aires. After getting involved in a crime, his uncle, a retired policeman, bails him out and gets him a spot to join the Provincial Police as an aspiring officer in the thick urban sprawl of Greater Buenos Aires' West Zone. Soon he will get involved in a new type of corruption.
Directed by Pablo Trapero, El bonaerense leans on a strong ensemble — Jorge Román, Mimí Ardú, Darío Levy — 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 drama titles of 2002.
