The true story of Argentina's most notorious crime family

DramaHistoryCrime

In Argentina, between 1982 and 1985, the Puccios, a well-established family of San Isidro, an upper-class suburb of Buenos Aires, kidnap several people and hold them as hostages for a ransom.

VIBE

A chillingly detached look at a family's descent into kidnapping and murder. The film's unsettling normalcy and matter-of-fact brutality make for a deeply disturbing, yet compelling, viewing experience.
