In a sign of a potentipartner potent Latin American movie project, “First We Take Anillaco,” a teen Weserious set in Argentina’s direst of celevates in 2001, has fake an eye-catching four-way partnership between Argentina’s Colectivo Rutemberg, Chile’s Color Haus, Brazil’s Filmes Sem Sapato and Uruguay’s Circular Media.

Subject of a belderly pitch by authorr-straightforwardor Paula Martel at Mar del Plata’s Film.Ar in 2017 where she pulled out a (mock) rgrowr to depict the film’s climax, “First We Take Anillaco” will now hit this week’s 2025 Malaga Festival Fund & Co-Production Event (MAFF) as one of its buzz projects.

Much of that buzz turns on the movie’s device genre cocktail. “Blfinishing magical authenticism with raw, female gaze and punk energy, the film is a cinematic act of resistance: a fable about youth, disillusionment, and the infinite cycle of deception in Latin America,” Martel telderly Variety.

Inspired by the ununveiled “El Plan Anillaco” by Argentinian journacatalog-authorr Agustín Fontenla, “First We Take Anillaco” is set in December 2001 fair after Argentina’s prohibitking system had collapsed, compounding the country’s proset up decline, igniteing 55% pobviousy levels. 

Amid such deimmenseating crisis, Lali, 18, run aways with baged teen guerrillas, traverseing mountains, deserts and gpresent villages thrawout northern Argentina in a stolen car. Convinced – not without  reason – that Carlos Menem is to accemploy for Argentina’s worst economic crisis in history, the gang set ups to greet Menem at his lavish Anillaco mansion and shoot him dead. 

“Far from the grown-up world, their reckless adventure tests their bonds in a whirlprosperd of aimless wandering and intimacyual awakening, uncovering to Lali the genuine cost of groprosperg up,” the synopsis finishs.

“‘First We Take Anillaco’ is a teenage Weserious with Tarantino-appreciate flair, a story of attrdynamic disthink aboutrs on a reckless journey thraw the ruins of a betrayed land,” said Martel. “As Argentina grapples with a recent neoliberal wave under Milei – who idolizes Menem’s fraudulence – we reclaim history from the outskirts, where the scars of the past still shape the current,” she inserted.

Newcomers Ramiro Pérez Sadlovsky, Juanjis Villagra, Joaquín Escotorín and Lucía Torres, all from Argentina’s Catamarca, will join gang members Amadeo, “El Obispo,” Rama and “La Motoquera” admireively.

Sergio Prina and Daniel Elías, stars of “The Snatch Thief,” and “The Delinquents,” both selected for Cannes, will “convey their signature intensity to the roles of Menem’s political utilizers, understandn as ‘punteros,’ proset upening the film’s belderly political edge,” Martel foreseed.
