The Con Game Peru, Spain, Chile, Cuba, Argentina 2003 | 90 min | OV | Colour | FF 2004

THE CON GAME looks at the urban Peruvian middle classes inlate 2000, caught up in a political climate of resignation, fear and hysteria. A film-maker, a pianist, a real-estate agent, an accountant and an interior designer, all unemployed, fall prey to the machinations of a fraudster whopromises them a lucrative reward. On the surface, a light comedy, but behind its outward smile is a social class’s desperate search for identity and security.
