Besieged

2002 · Movie · 97 min. · Argentina

Drama

On one side usury, on the other the workers, on one side the past and on the other the future. Trapped in this crucible is Pablo, heading the factory founded by his father, trying to face the conflicts which engulf the members of his small business in the Argentina of the 1990s. In an asphyxiating climate, beset by debt, they are driven to an economic crisis in which it’s every man for himself—a situation no one expected and no one wants. They are besieged by a neoliberal economic model, brutal and unjust. Perhaps Gustavo, Pablo’s son, may be the only one capable of passing through that door, which opens and closes not letting us see the light from outside.
