16° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL
Feature Film Competition 1998
Pizza, birra, faso
by Adrián Caetano, Bruno Stagnaro
Country: Argentina
Year: 1997
Duration: 78'
Cordobés and his three friends, Frula, Megabom and Pablo, are squatters who are occupying the same house. Sandra, Cordobés' girlfriend, is pregnant and lives with the four young men. Life in Buenos Aires is hard and these maladjusted adolescents survive by doing the only thing they know how to do: steal. They never manage to put very much aside and the small-time boss who tells them what to steal always keeps the best part of the loot for himself. Their one guiding motto seems to be: "just enough to buy a beer". But the birth of Sandra's baby brings about important changes.
