La declaración que Marcial hace al comisario con motivo de la muerte de un amigo no coincide con los hechos. Las imágenes y la realidad se contraponen deliberadamente creando contradicciones y equívocos, que van dibujando la intensa relación de dos amigos, sumergidos en un Buenos Aires marginal e implacable. El amor, el dinero y la traición son los protagonistas de esta película con fuertes reminiscencias del “Film Noir”.

MARCIAL’S VERSION juxtaposes reality with illusion, in a manner reminiscent of the ‘Film Noir’ style of the 40’s. Filmed in the underbelly of Buenos Aires, the film plunges the viewer in the murky investigation of a crime where love, money and betrayal are all intricately woven together. With seductive strains of Tango in the background, the viewer is jarred by the counterpoint between Marcial's discourse - his version of the events as told to the police - versus the truth on the screen.
