Event
PACO - 2010 Redwood City International Latino Film Festival
Paco is a quantum physicist. He is in prison. He was caught in the suburbs of Buenos Aires suffering from a "paco" overdose. "Paco" is the newest and worst lethal drug made from the waste of cocaine cooked in urban kitchens. He is accused of bombing one of these kitchens, killing not only the dealers but also innocents. Paco´s mother is a very important Senator in the Argentinean congress with a rising political career, suddenly she finds herself involved in a nightmare. Her son is accused of terrorism; the media implicates him in a narco-trafficking war. She places him in a rehabilitation center where he will start unravelling his past.
An emotive character-driven drama with a strong ensemble cast led by Norma Aleandro, Paco is a powerful description of the psychological intricacies of drug addiction and its dark consequences in the world and politics, but at the same time, an expression of the luminous and irremediable compulsion of life to renew itself.
Nominated for the Gold Award at the Festival de Valladolid, Spain
