An unexpected look at the “criminals next door,” Hernán Rosselli’s film introduces us to a family running a highly successful illegal betting business right from their living room and dining room. When the family patriarch and head of the business passes away, the women of the household take charge, facing rival families while also dealing with loss and grief.

A clever, captivating film that speaks a completely fresh cinematic language, Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed enchants and continues to surprise until the very end in the best possible way.
