Description:
As this movie starts, Zapa (Roman) is a locksmith living in a quiet little town somewhere in the wilderness near Buenos Aires, but his life changes drastically when his boss sends him on an errand to open a safe at an office which leads to him being arrested for robbery. Rescued by his uncle, a retired police officer, Zapa gets a chance at a new career as a police officer in Buenos Aires. Moving there, Zapa finds his new job reinvigorating his life as he falls in love with an older woman who's a teacher, although he's also now part of a police force widely considered to be frequently incompentent and/or corrupt.
