Magnolia Pictures International has boarded worldwide sales rights including the US to Cannes Un Certain Regard selection The Delinquents (Los Delincuentes).
Argentinian filmmaker Rodrigo Moreno (The Custodian, A Mysterious World) directed the story about a bank employee who steals money, falls in love and resigns himself to a short stint in jail while his colleague, unwittingly in possession of the money, finds a way out of his predicament and also discovers a new love.
Bound by their common destiny and similar names, the two colleagues are inevitably drawn together again. Esteban Bigliardi, Daniel Elias, and Margarita Molfino star.
Argentina’s Wanka Cine produced with Les Films Fauves (Luxembourg), Sancho & Punta (Brazil), Jirafa (Chile), Jaque (Argentina), and Rizoma (Argentina).
The production received support from INCAA, Film Fund Luxembourg, Agencia Nacional Do Cinema, and Consejo Nacional de la Cultura y las Artes.
Lorna Lee Torres, head of international sales, and Austin Kennedy, international sales manager, will commence sales in Cannes, which runs May 16-27.
