Two lifelong prison buddies cope with life outside the big house in this award-winning Argentinean production.

Before being jailed, however, the duo stashed a sum of money in a river, and plan on retrieving it as soon as they're released. When the fateful day comes, however, their petty insecurities and the pressures of being re-adjusted to society threaten to ruin their perfect scheme. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide
