The swindled is a film about con artists. This story’s only truth is that everything can be a lie. Ernesto has only done one thing in his whole life, to cheat. He knows the tricks of cheating from an old con artist called El Manco (manco is someone who only has one hand). He gets Ernesto in touch with a man he considers to be the best con ever, Federico, an elegant, clever and methodical swindler. Life couldn’t go better until Pilar, Federico’s ex-lover and partner, appears on the scene.
