This incredibly disturbing story follows the exploitation of an

apprentice butcher, Hermógenes, and his trial after he murders

his boss in broad daylight. Hermógenes, a farmhand from northern

Argentina, relocates to Buenos Aires in search of a better life for

himself and his young wife, but soon finds himself at the mercy

of a corrupt boss. The film is based on a thorough investigation

of a real event that happened in Buenos Aires 10 years ago.

Almost every scene in the film is inspired by real facts or based

on well documented daily practices of the "meat business� and its

environment. Both a shocking exposé of unscrupulous practices in

the meat industry and a heart-wrenching personal story, El Patrón

became one of the most successful Argentine films of 2014.
