“Before you appeared in Once, it had already got around: they were in the process of children to recruit to work for the summer in Uruguay.”

The book
Enana and Ishmael are specialized in break-ins, you perform for a Client. You are 15, and since they are a bit too big to go through small Openings in homes, is Enanas 6 met-year-old brother Ajo Team. He can climb like a Monkey facades, almost clean everywhere, and then his sister and her friend through the door.

This burglar trio from Once, a suburban district of Buenos Aires, accompanied the Argentine writer and filmmaker, Lucía Puenzo, in her new book, “The not seen” (Original: “Los invisibles”, so “The Invisible”). This is not a criminal in the usual sense, but a very exciting novel with all its sober observer views over long distances almost documentary.

The 42-year-old Lucía Puenzo – she is the daughter of filmmaker Luis Puenzo, awarded in 1985 for “La historia oficial” with the Oscar for best foreign language Film employs in her literary and film works with themes around Childhood and youth. To street children, as there is in Buenos Aires, apparently in large numbers, it goes here. Their young heroes are smart and clever, but at the same time in a childish kind of naive. In their raids, it is not about houses or apartments to overcome: The Trio allows only a few selected items go, so the break-ins are often not noticed until after some time.

or, rather, used the three young professionals from Guida, the employees of a private security service, whose mesh is widely used: “as soon As the owners whose houses you should guard, were traveling, or in your Weekend retreat went, they let the children come.” Now Guida sold his Top Trio to Uruguay. There it is used for burglaries in luxury villas in a Gated Community. The runs for the three young Argentinian is quite wrong, is wanted by their clients, because these raids are just a means for other purposes.

Lucía Puenzo tells with dry Humor, as here two worlds collide when street children from Once meet a rich posh family. A particular strength of their narrative art is that it touches quite, but cheap sentimentality, the offer of such a substance, consistently omitted. The almost impartial and uncompromising type, in the Puenzo tells what happens to the child predators, makes this work a true Noir novel.
