What happens

Rapado (lit. 'Buzz cut') is an Argentine and Dutch 1992 drama film, written and directed by Martín Rejtman, in his first feature film. It is considered by critics as the film that started the New Argentine Cinema, or NCA (Nuevo Cine Argentino), an aesthetic movement representing a fundamental break with the Argentine cinema of the late 1980s and early 1990s, by introducing new narrative elements and a strong realistic style.
