One Out of Two (2004)

It's December 2001, the boiling point of Argentina's economic crisis, and the impoverished residents of a small rural town watch transfixed as Buenos Aires erupts into bloody riots on the TV news. The only liquid capital around belongs to Martin, a hunky two-bit thug who swaggers in and out of the local cafes, courting the beautiful and self-possessed Pilar while imprudently passing out handfuls of cash to his panicked relatives.
