EL PATRÓN, RADIOGRAFÍA DE UN CRIMEN (The Boss) Directed by Sebastián Schindel
Based on a true story, The Boss, Anatomy of a Crime is a neo-realistic portrait of the inhumane work environment, and the power imbalances existing between worker and employer.
The multiple award-winning film tells the unsettling story of Hermógenes, a humble illiterate farmhand who arrives in Buenos Aires in search of a job.
Having been filled with self-deprecation and feelings of uselessness ever since he was stamped “not apt” on his military papers because of his limp, Hermógenes doesn’t expect much.

The overwhelming manipulation and escalating cruelty will inevitably lead to tragedy.
