Description / Descripción
El Cordobés vive con sus tres amigos y su mujer embarazada, Sandra, en la misma casa. Esta banda de adolescentes marginales pulula por Buenos Aires viviendo del robo pero siempre dependen de alguien que los emplea y les quita la mayor parte del botín. La filosofía de vida del Cordobés y los suyos parece ser que mientras no falten la pizza, cerveza y cigarrillos, todo es soportable. (Cine Nacional Argentina)
Pizza, birra, faso, is a film about the rebellious, youthful, criminal underworld of Buenos Aires; it follows the violent lives of a group of teenage boys and a pregnant teenage girl, who resort to crime in order to supply their basic necessities, the pizza, beer, and fags of the title. They live the lives of the teenage youths analysed in Mario Margulis' fascinating study of the Buenos Aires nightlife, La cultura de la noche. The character nicknamed Córdoba — the one with the gun in the clip — finds himself increasingly caught between his carefree criminal existence and the increasing responsibilities demanded of him by his pregnant girlfriend Sandra. Unable, despite trying, to hold down a regular job, he resorts to increasingly audacious robberies in order to be seen to be "providing" for his future family.
