Mnoge život odvede u ovom ili onom smjeru zbog ovog ili onog razloga, pa se nađu tamo gdje se nisu nadali, ili gdje nisu željeli biti, a da naprosto ne mogu učiniti ništa u svezi toga. Drugi pak imaju mogućnost birati što i kako žele i na neki način , da se tako izrazim, sami upravljaju svojom sudbinom. Ali ponekad naprosto donesu krive odluke i krenu pogrešnim putem. A upravo je takav pogrešan put izabrao Carlos Robledo Puch o kojem je redatelj (i ko-scenarist) Luis Ortega snimio film, biografsku krimi dramu El Ángel koja je snimljena u ko-produkciji Argentine i Španjolske.
El Ángel je daklem priča o 17-godišnjem Argentincu, Carlosu Robledou Puchu, kovrčavom plavokosom tinejdžeru lijepog lica koji je u samo 4 godine svog kriminalnog djelovanja, do svoje 20-e kada je uhićen, ubio 11 ljudi i izveo preko 40 pljački. Zbog svega toga su mu nadjenuli ime “The Angel of Death”, te je u konačnici osuđen na najdužu zatvorsku kaznu u povijesti Argentine.
U glavnim ulogama su Lorenzo Ferro, Chino Darín, Daniel Fanego, Luis Gnecco, Peter Lanzani, Mercedes Morán, William Prociuk, te još mnogi drugi. El Ángel je svjetsku premijeru imao u svibnju na Cannes Film Festivalu, a zatim i diljem Francuske, dok je službena argentinska kino premijera zakazana za 09. kolovoza 2018. Ostatak svijeta će ovaj film moći pogledati početkom 2019.

Carlitos is a seventeen-year-old youth with movie star swagger, blond curls and a baby face. As a young boy, he coveted other people’s things, but it wasn’t until his early adolescence that his true calling–to be a thief–manifested itself. When he meets Ramon at his new school, Carlitos is immediately drawn to him and starts showing off to get his attention. Together they will embark on a journey of discoveries, love and crime. Killing is just a random offshoot of the violence, which continues to escalate until Carlitos is finally apprehended. Because of his angelic appearance, the press dubs Carlitos “The Angel of Death.” Showered with attention because of his beauty, he becomes an overnight celebrity. Altogether, he is believed to have committed over forty thefts and eleven homicides. Today, after more than forty-five years in jail, Carlos Robledo Puch is the longest- serving prisoner in the history of Argentina.
