Respuesta:
Nine Queens tells the story of two scammers, Juan and Marcos, who come together after meeting in the mini market of a gas station, and unexpectedly find themselves involved in a business worth half a million dollars.
Marcos and Juan make up an attractive teacher-apprentice pair that exudes significant chemistry. Then they are presented with a unique opportunity, to sell a collection of fake stamps worth half a million dollars, the "nine queens", from the Weimar Republic. Upon learning of this figure, Juan, who needs 70,000 pesos to get his father out of jail, asks Marcos to enter the business, who accepts his help for 2,500 pesos. The objective is to sell them to Vidal Gandolfo, a Spanish businessman who was staying at the hotel and would be deported from the country the next day, "playing" in this way with his predicament. When the two scammers go to the house of Sandler's elderly wife to fetch the stamps, Juan makes up an excuse for her to let them pass. At this moment Juan extorts Marcos to keep more of the money.
Explicación:
Nueve reinas cuenta la historia de dos estafadores, Juan y Marcos, quienes se unen tras conocerse en el mini mercado de una estación de gas, e imprevistamente se ven envueltos en un negocio de medio millón de dólares.
Marcos y Juan conforman una atractiva pareja de maestro-aprendiz que desprende una significativa química. Luego se les presenta una oportunidad única, vender una colección de estampillas falsas de un valor de medio millón de dólares, las "nueve reinas", provenientes de la República de Weimar. Al enterarse de esta cifra, Juan, que necesita 70.000 pesos para sacar de la cárcel a su padre, le pide ingresar en el negocio a Marcos, quien acepta su ayuda por 2.500 pesos. El objetivo es vendérselas a Vidal Gandolfo, un empresario español que estaba parando en el hotel y sería deportado del país al día siguiente, "jugando" de esta manera con su apuro. Cuando ambos estafadores deben ir a buscar las estampillas a la casa de la anciana esposa de Sandler, Juan inventa una excusa para que ésta los deje pasar. En este momento Juan extorsiona a Marcos para quedarse con una mayor parte del dinero.
