Synopsis
The Delinquents (Los delincuentes, 2023) is an Argentine crime comedy by Rodrigo Moreno, available to watch online on iFILM. Morán, a clerk nobody notices at his Buenos Aires bank, walks off with $650,000 — exactly twice what the job would pay him before retirement — then turns himself in.
His math is cold and patient. Do a few years inside, come out, never work again. The catch: someone has to hide the cash while he serves the time, so he hands it to colleague Román for half. Holding that secret slowly rewires Román's quiet life. Auditors close in, his bosses smell something wrong, and a trip into the mountains and a woman named Norma pull him off the rails he never knew he was on. The price of freedom turns out to be measured in years, not pesos.
Running nearly three hours and shot on 16mm, the film strolls rather than races — a wry, unhurried fable about escaping the office cage. It premiered in Cannes' Un Certain Regard and became Argentina's Oscar submission. Made for patient viewers who like dry, character-driven cinema, not for anyone chasing a fast heist thriller.
