CARANCHO (THE VULTURE) (2010)
A film by Pablo Trapero
Ricardo Darín (star of the Oscar®-winning The Secret in Their
Eyes) and Martina Gusman (Lion's Den) give unforgettable
performances in the gripping and highly acclaimed thriller
CARANCHO (The Vulture), an exhilarating journey into the darker
side of Buenos Aires life from leading Argentinean director Pablo
Trapero (Familia Rodante, Born and Bred).
With traffic accidents in Argentina on the rise, bodies become
currency and a flourishing black market strives to get rich from the
personal tragedies that litter the streets. Sosa (Darín) is an
ambulance-chasing personal injury lawyer with questionable ethics.
Lujan (Gusman) is a young, idealistic country doctor new to the city.
As their lives become intertwined, they form an unlikely romance
that becomes threatened by Sosa’s turbulent past.
CARANCHO (The Vulture) is a hard-hitting, edge-of-your seat
experience that juggles the emotional turmoil of its riveting central
characters with a visceral physicality that grabs your attention from the start and never lets go.
