Overview

Veteran Argentinian actor Ricardo Darin stars in this New Zealand International Film Festival closing night spectacular. It's no surprise that Pedro Almodovar is co-producer of the collection of dark and explosive stories which are united by the theme of vengeance. Writer-director Damian Szifron satirises for our entertainment what he sees as the widespread corruption, cynicism and complacency in his home country.

A fashion model on a plane discovers she has something in common with a middle-aged music critic and the flight ends in disaster. A waitress recognises an unlikeable customer, but confiding in the elderly cook leads to trouble.

An obnoxious driver’s behaviour triggers a serious case of road-rage. A municipal parking scam enfuriates a demolitions expert who decides justice must be served. A wealthy businessman tries to cover up his son’s crime and a bride relishes in taking revenge against her cheating groom on their wedding day.
