El polaquito

El polaquito is a young boy that lives in the streets of Buenos Aires and survives by singing tangos. When he fells in love to a prostitute called Pelu. He will try to rescue her from the Argentinian mafia, but he will not think about the consequences. Well the movie can be considered as a show of the living of the homeless kids of the big cities, but that's all. Neither the actors plays a decent part, and the story is typical and totally unsurprising. Being a film of claim and protest, "City of God" from Meirelles is much better, and being some kind of love story, there a lots of better ones. I think there are many better ways to spend two hours.
