Ballina Film Club’s Spring Programme continues this week with Nine Queens on Tuesday February 24 at 8pm. Directed by Fabián Bielinsky, Nine Queens follows Juan and Marcos, two small-time swindlers, who team up after meeting in a convenience store and become involved in a half million dollar deal. Juan is sceptical at first, but agrees to work with Marcos after he impresses him with a few sophisticated cons. A once-in-a-lifetime scheme then seemingly falls in their laps as an old time con-man enlists Juan and Marcos to sell a forged set of extremely valuable rare stamps, The Nine Queens. The tricky negotiations that ensue bring into the picture a cast of suspicious characters including Marcos' beautiful sister Valeria, their innocent younger brother Federico who idolises Marcos, and a slew of thieves, conmen, and pickpockets. As the deceptions and duplicity mount, it becomes more and more difficult to figure out who is conning whom, and we begin to ask ourselves, "Who isn't a thief?"
