The City of No Limits

After an opening scene reminiscent of "Citizen Kane", Max, an aging communist, wakes up in a Paris hospital bed with his three sons at his side. He sends his youngest son, Victor, who has just arrived from Argentina, on a quest to find a mysterious character from his past. The search will bring many skeletons out of the family closet. A well-scripted and excellently acted film that walks the line between thriller and melodrama, cold noir violence and warm Latin sentimentality.
