Director: Luis Ortega
Overview
The true story of Argentina’s most infamous criminal is one of such heightened drama it could easily be mistaken for fiction.

Carlitos (a revelatory Lorenzo Ferro) is a beautiful 17-year-old whose youthful appearance masks a criminal mastermind.

As the pair embark on a breathless journey of theft and murder, the press dub Carlitos ‘The Angel of Death’, transforming him into a media sensation.
