Nicotina
The perfect crime goes horribly, absurdly awry
in this Spanish-language tale of avarice starring
Diego Luna.
Told in real time, Nicotina charts the different paths
taken by
eight characters over the course of a botched diamond heist
masterminded
by tech geek Lolo, Tomson,
and Nene,
each of whom has his
own
Achilles' heel when it comes
to committing crime. For Lolo, it's his
incessant,
unrequited attraction to
his neighbor Andrea; for Nene, it's his
over-whelming need
to look cool as a neophyte gangster; and
for Tomson,
it's his loose-cannon demeanor that threatens to do
him -
and everyone else - in.
The
trio become intertwined with a
variety
of mobsters, shop owners,
and not-so-innocent bystanders,
each encounter bringing unexpectedly
violent obstacles to securing the gems.
