A powerful and gripping story of social activism from leading Argentinian director Trapero. Julián and Nicolas are two maverick priests and long-standing friends, who along with devoted social worker Luciana, work tirelessly to help the poverty-stricken inhabitants of Buenos Aires’ Villa Virgin slum community. The priests’ dedication to their cause is tested when tension and violence between the slum’s warring drug-dealing cartels escalates.
