Soon under pressure by a company investigator, accomplice Román (Bigliardi) later encounters a mysterious woman who will transform him forever.
“I punch in every day,” Morán says in the trailer. “All that for what?”
“The Delinquents” was written and directed by Moreno, who was a two-time nominee for the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival for his 2011 feature “The Minder” and 2011’s “A Mysterious World.”
