Román et Morán, deux modestes employés de banque de Buenos Aires, sont piégés par la routine. Morán met en oeuvre un projet fou : voler au coffre une somme équivalente à leurs vies de salaires. Désormais délinquants, leurs destins sont liés. Au gré de leur cavale et des rencontres, chacun à sa manière emprunte une voie nouvelle vers la liberté.

Buenos Aires, dans la chaleur de l’été, entre quartiers pavillonnaires sécurisés et terrains vagues recouverts d’immondices. Les aboiements de chiens errants, les coupures de courant à répétition et les nuages de fumées incontrôlables poussent les habitants à se confronter à leurs instincts les plus primaires.

Santiago Mitre co-directs his first movement following The Student together with choreographer Onofri Barbato. Although it would have been more accurate to say “his first film-story-adventure-movie-great movie following The Student”, the word movement fits perfectly in Los posibles, the most overwhelmingly kinetic work Argentine cinema has delivered in many, many years. The film deals with the adaptation of a dance show directed by Onofri together with a group of teenagers who came to Casa La Salle, a center of social integration located in González Catán, trying to find some refuge from hardship. Already entitled Los posibles, the piece opened in the La Plata Tacec and was later staged in the AB Hall of the San Martín Cultural Center. Now, it dazzles audiences out of a film screen, with extraordinary muscles and a huge heart: Los posibles is a rhapsody of roughen bodies and torn emotions. Precise and exciting, it’s our own delayed, necessary, and incandescent West Side Story.
