Nine Queens Movie Review 2000

Juan (Pauls) is a rookie con man in Buenos Aries, who is taken under the wing of the more-experienced Marcos (Darin). Marcos stumbles across an opportunity to fence the Nine Queens, a famous set of defectively printed stamps from Weimar Germany. Actually, Marcos's ruse is peddle a counterfeit set to a stamp-collecting patsy named Gandolfo (Abadal). Things get complicated when Marcos needs his angry sister Valeria's (Bredice) help, the stamps are stolen, and even Argentina's economic woes come to play a significant role. Just who's scamming who? Spanish with subtitles.
