WHITE ELEPHANT

by Pablo Trapero

synopsis

Julian uses his political connections to oversee the construction of a hospital. Nicolas joins him following the failure of a project he was leading in the jungle, after paramilitary forces assassinated members of the community.

And when work on the hospital is halted by ministerial decree, the fuse is lit...
