An adventurer? Maybe. He is capable of action. He's bold, he's brave, he's strong. Well, he's got too many qualities. It is difficult for such people to keep within the limits allowed.
'The meeting place cannot be changed', 1979, dir. S. Govorukhin
There is a certain category of men who in no way fit into 'canonical' picture of the world. Nature put an excessive amount of adrenaline in their blood. Does he not excite the personality from within, making it somewhat crazy? The usual pattern, in such cases, is unacceptable a priori. Established standards, a heavy burden. Playing the walk in business, the impatient crossover of an unbroken mustang. No rider. Without restraint. No neck brace. Patience of power over oneself only for the time being. Freedom is the measure of full existence. Compromise, yes. It never does. And just try to cheat... You will know the price of a sloppy move.
Francisco Paesa is a former secret agent of the Spanish Themis. Artistic nature easily comes into contact. They are able to negotiate at various levels. The degree of confidence of the developers is absolute. He has no doubt about it, no doubt about it. Such characteristics should be provided with his office record. Like Ostap Bender, he twists cunning combinations, and meanwhile, his accounts have a minus balance. Moreover, his own ' roof ' compromises his reputation ineptly furnishing the last task and roadside with a trip to nowhere. Crushed? Broken? Lost? No way. It's just getting started. And let the wife put out of the house with a suitcase of things luggage, and let only the reproduction of Modigliani & #39; Jeanne & #39; surprised by the tilt of the head companion in fellow travelers, he is calm.
Luis Roldana, former head of the Civil Guard, and now ' fined ' corruption official, appeals for help. One and a half billion pesetas in a Swiss bank must be cleaned of dirt. The money was stolen from the state budget. He and his wife are on an international wanted list. Will the artist help the thief? Will it be possible for 'Resolve' to close the issue? Minimum loss with maximum utility. Security? Of course. A safe apartment? Yes, we do. Help with changing plans? Of course, you have a bright head on your shoulders. Fee? More than solid. Getting in? And Francisco Paesa 'hired'. Can a crook trust another crook? Where and when can they stage a scam? A billion and a half is a lot of money. Very big. The temptation is too great.
And the intricacies in this thriller are gaining momentum. And the series of events is such a string that you do not always keep up with the director's thought. Intuitively understanding who is who and what exactly is happening here. Scammers of the highest standard in front of us. State-sponsored scammers are fun.
Without a doubt, there is a rather specific Spanish humor, but with a different mentality to catch the tides, it is very difficult.
Two interesting conversations between Francisco and women. Wife and niece. There and there it is about money. The reaction of people close to him. Coverza? Joke? Mockery? This is definitely something.
