Movie description:
Police try to hunt down a serial killer in 1912 Buenos Aires.
Based on a true story. In Buenos Aires in 1912, a child killer is stalking and brutalizing youngsters of both genders. One ten-year-old boy, Mateo, has a series of visions which pro-vide important clues to these murders – so much so that he becomes the prime suspect. The various police involved have different agendas and their own favorite other suspects, so the unearthing of the real culprit becomes problematical. More brutality and tragedy results.
Inspired by a series of brutal, true life murders that shocked citizens of Buenos Aires at the turn of the 20th Century, director/screenwriter Jorge Algora’s horrific thriller centers on a ten year old boy suspected of being a sadistic killer. The year is 1912, and the town of Buenos Aires is being held in the icy cold grip of fear. Ten year-old Mateo (Juan Ciancio) has been experiencing a disturbing series of extremely vivid visions that would seem to suggest that he witnessed the killings firsthand. When word gets out about Mateo’s strange case of second sight, many of the locals begin to suspect that it is actually he who is committing these unspeakable acts. Meanwhile, as the body count continues to rise, Mateo’s mother Estela (Maribel Verdú) enlists the aid of forensics specialist Dr. Soria (Chete Lera) in finding a rational explanation for the visions and helping the skeptical Police Inspector Petrie (Daniel Freire) locate the real killer in hopes of proving her son’s innocence.
