180° is a 2010 Mexican comedy-drama film written, directed and co-produced by Fernando Kalife. [1] Starring Elizabeth Valdéz, Rodrigo Cachero, Daniel Martínez, Fernando Becerril, Juan Martín Jáuregui, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Eduardo Blanco, Iliana Fox and Alejandro Cuétara. [2]
Synopsis
Salvador Díaz is a guy who is always involved in shady deals and owes money to Martín Soto, a mafia boss. To get the amount he must pay, he does what he knows how: cheat; for now to an elderly person (Fernando Becerril), selling him a restaurant that is not very lucrative. Then he tries to sell, to a soccer team, an Argentine player who has injured a knee and is still not fully recovered. He does these "businesses" in complicity with his friend Darío, a self-conscious, pessimistic and renegade man. When he tries to close the player's deal, the team representative reminds him of something important that Salvador had forgotten. That memory takes him back to his childhood and will help him try to make a radical change, that is to say -180 degrees- in his behavior. [3]
