In a working-class suburb of Buenos Aires, the Felpetos – the Sopranos next door – run a well-established underground betting business. Following the father’s death, the family business has become matriarchal. Hernán Rosselli’s real-life childhood neighbour, Maribel, entrusted the filmmaker with her old family videos and agreed, alongside her family, to become a bookmaker in his filmic universe. Game theory and the shape of the network are interwoven with both individual memories and a country’s history.
Something old, something new, something borrowed
