Death in Buenos Aires
Death in Buenos Aires (Spanish: Muerte en Buenos Aires) is a 2014 Argentine crime film directed by Natalia Meta in her directorial debut. It follows a police inspector struggling to balance his duties with his unspoken sexual desire, and a young and handsome rookie on the police force with enigmatic motivations.
Plot
Inspector Chávez, a detective on the Buenos Aires police force, and his partner Dolores are called one summer night to the Recoleta residence of Jaime Figueroa Alcorta, a wealthy older gay member of Buenos Aires high society. At the scene, Chávez meets the young officer Gómez, who says that he found Alcorta's body after investigating a noise complaint and who has been examining the dead man's possessions. The next day, the two men encounter each other in the police station restroom, where Gómez shows Chávez a matchbook from the gay nightclub Manila that he accidentally took from the crime scene.
