15 Sep '04

Latin America Theatrical is proud to announce that director Atilio Perin's DEAL AGAIN will be screening as an Official Selection in the 2004 Hamburg International Film Festival. DEAL AGAIN, Atilio Perin's first feature film tells a fiction story about four retired men that spend their days playing card games and "bochas" in a social club placed in Venado Tuerto, a small city in the south of the province of Santa Fe, Argentina. Talking to each other about their own financial troubles, suddenly they engage in a disparete chatting, in a senseless plan and a consummated fact. The four old men shall kidnap a young, successful businessman involved in rather suspicious dealings. But then he shall have to be hidden and fed, and the old four shall, try to do it their best, but such plans forged in pubs too often get misled. The story of "Deal again" then evolves through sustained comedy tune. The four old men story who dare dreaming of another chance.
