One morning, Marcus observes Juan successfully pulling off a bill changing scam on a cashier and then getting caught as he attempts to pull the same trick on the next shift. Marcus steps in, claiming to be a policeman and drags Juan out of the store. Safely outside Marcus reveals himself to be a fellow swindler with a much higher stakes game in mind and invites Juan to join him. Juan is sceptical at first but agrees to work with Marcus after he impresses him with a few sophisticated cons. A once-in-a-lifetime scheme then seemingly falls in their laps - an old-time conman enlists Juan and Marcus to sell a forged set of extremely rare stamps - the Nine Queens. The tricky negotiations that follow bring into the picture a host of suspicious characters including Marcus' beautiful sister Valeria (Leticia Brédice), their innocent younger brother Federico (Tomás Fonzi) who idolises Marcus and a slew of thieves, conmen and pickpockets. As the deceptions and duplicity mount it becomes more and more difficult to figure out who is conning whom, and we begin to ask ourselves, "who isn't the thief?" |
