Azor is an Argentine–French–Swiss drama film directed by Andreas Fontana, with an screenplay by Fontana and Mariano Llinás. The film stars Fabrizio Rongione and Stephanie Cléau.
1980. Argentina. The dirty war is in full swing. Swiss Banker Ivan de Wiel has arrived in Buenos Aires with his wife for a crash meeting with his Argentine Clients following the mysterious disappearance of his colleague, Rene Keys. Keys had some vitally important to the company work to close.
As his rivals in the business, Credit Suisse begin to make an appearance. Ivan must move quickly through the smoke-filled lounges and lush gardens of a society under intense surveillance with a covert threat of violence just lurking outside. All the while searching for a clue to the mysterious note Keys left. Which may be one client too far...
This film provides examples of the following tropes:
- Amoral Attorney: Dekerman. Farrell's abrasive and crude lawyer.
- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Played with. Ines may not love her husband, but she does recognise the strength of his character. When Ivan notes that Rene would have been able to close the accounts much better. Ines dismisses Keys and says Ivan is a far shrewder and better long term businessman than Keys ever was.
- Noodle Incident: Stacked with them. Where is Keys and why did he disappear? Where is the missing daughter of Augusto Padel-Camon?
- The Reveal The final 'Client' is in fact a location deep inside Argentina where the Junta has been storing the spoils of looted goods they have taken from the disappeared. Art treasures, jewellery, luxury cars and other goods. Along with an extensive portfolio of property. The total value adding up to 600 million dollars.
