This is a 1950s noir from Argentina about a child murderer. The female friend of a boy goes missing. She was seeing a strange man and she had made the boy promise to keep it a secret. I like how the movie goes into how vital childhood promises are. To an adult it would be very obvious that you need to speak up. But when another female friend goes missing the boy can't be quiet anymore. But it's useless as no one will listen to him. His father is part of the police. It's up to him to leave clues for his father and to track the killer down himself. This was based on a Cornell Woolrich short story who was an amazing noir writer. This was a good short noir.
