Rapado

1992 · 75 min

A quiet, drifting slice of life that follows a restless teenager through empty city streets, asking patience as it builds a low-key sense of unease.

Overview
After the theft of his motorcycle, Lucio bums aimlessly around Buenos Aires drifting from one arcade and record store to the next, indulging in short chats with friends and, more often, setting out onto the streets alone.
