Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed

What it’s about

For decades, the Felpeto family has operated an illegal lottery from a small housing development. Maribel oversees clerks who record bets in her living room, while her mother Alejandra manages the administrative side from an identical house nearby. Recent raids on other lottery bankers have put the neighborhood on edge. Talk of police dismissals and large money movements circulates, but no one can separate truth from rumor or television reports.

What hooks you

Director Hernán Rosselli, who also wrote the film, works with a cast that includes Javier Abril Rotger, Marcelo Barbosa, and Alejandra Cánepa.

Who it’s for

It suits viewers who appreciate understated dramas about family businesses and the quiet tension of communities under pressure.
