White Elephant
Synopsis
In the "Villa Virgin", a shantytown in the slums of Buenos Aires, Julian and Nicolas, two priests and long-standing friends, work tirelessly to help the local people.
Julian uses his political connections to oversee the construction of a hospital. Nicolas joins him when a project he was leading in the jungle collapses after paramilitary forces assassinate members of the community. Deeply troubled, he finds a little comfort in Luciana, a young, attractive, atheist social worker. As Nicolas' faith weakens, tension and violence between the slum drug-dealing cartels grow. And when work on the hospital is halted by ministerial decree, the fuse is lit...
