Great performances for a powerful story
21 October 2003
"El polaquito" is probably the best movie in Desanzo's filmography.

A thirteen years old boy who lives in the central station of Buenos Aires falls in love with Pelu, a young girl in the very same situation, three years older than him. But this innocent love is surrounded by a dark and heavy atmosphere of corrupt people who takes advantage of the children living in the streets.

Challenged by limit situations, and also by cruel and violent people, this boy keeps believing in love. A great work by Abel Ayala (Polaquito), Marina Glezer (Pelu) and Fernando Roa (Vieja).

A very nice photography and tango atmosphere help to make this movie something really worthy.
