Synopsis: Juan and Marcos are con-artists who find themselves involved in a once-in-a-lifetime scheme: all they have to do is sell a forged set of extremely valuable rare stamps, The Nine Queens. The tricky negotiations that ensue bring a cast of suspicious characters into the picture including Marcos' beautiful sister Valeria, Marcos' innocent younger brother Frederico, and a slew of thieves, conmen and pickpockets. As the action moves from humble barrios to luxury hotels, it soon appears that the whole city is part of an elaborate plot. The film's dialogue is in Spanish with English subtitles.
