Written and Directed by the late Fabián Bielinsky (Nine Queens),
The Aura/ El Aura is the story of a quiet, cynical taxidermist, who
suffers epilepsy attacks and is obsessed with committing the perfect
crime. He claims that the cops are too stupid to find out about it when
it's well executed, that the robbers are too stupid to execute it the
right way; and that he could do it himself relying on his photographic
memory and his strategic planning skills. After he is invited on a
hunting trip away from his home, an accident gives him the chance of
his life: the possibility to commit the perfect crime he has been
waiting for.
