Carteristas

Rosana Botafogo

Freedom, transgression. It could be set in any country in Europe, or in the world, but it is a Colombian film, a very good one, of which I have seen very few films, unfortunately, a great film about a reality, pickpockets, and all the criminality behind these boys and girls (who are mules/little planes, who only keep a small part of the proceeds of the robberies)… A film for young people, with some romance, drama, action, escapes and chases, a lovely soundtrack… The fights bothered me much more than the thefts, because it is cruel and sadistic… The drama is set in the capital of Bogotá, Colombia, and follows a 16-year-old street boy who, together with two friends, learns the art of stealing.
