Synopsis: "Nicotina," is a crime caper set in Mexico City about a simple exchange that goes awry, causing the lives of nine unsuspecting characters to explode in one tumultuous night over a fortune in diamonds. Diego Luna stars as computer hacker Lolo, who is infatuated with his neighbor Andrea and catalogs her every move via high-tech peeping devices. Lolo teams with amateur criminals Tomson and his younger counterpart Nene in a deal with a Russian mobster that involves the exchange of diamonds for computer access to Swiss bank accounts. But the deal goes terribly wrong after Lolo's attempts to spoil Andrea's romantic trysts spiral out of control. Down the street, the irritable pharmacist Beto and his fed-up wife Clara get inadvertently entangled in the exchange, along with the humble barber Goyo and his domineering other half Carmen. Infected with diamond lust, these characters become obsessed with the intoxicating possibility of an easy life and their greed quickly transforms into fiery despe

Yeah, yeah, l can.

But they scramble the codes

-No problem.

How much, Nene?

Diamonds, Lolo. Lots.

-l'll get on it right now.

-Good.

Nene...

F***ing Swiss ingrates.

ACCESS TO lNVESTMENT ACCOUNTS

BANQUE CANTONALE SUlSSE.

ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.

Nice one.

-He died, he died.

-He died 'cause his number was up.

-He died from smoking like a chimney.

-Nobody dies from just smoking.

-More smokers die than non-smokers.

-Where'd you get that from?

Statistics, kid.

Statistics,

check him out, statistics...

Lots of people die from lung cancer

and never touch a cigarette...

Wanna know why?.

'Cause a**holes like you blew smoke

in their faces!

No, there are a lot of variables...

and when they all coincide,

you die.

TELEPHONE DlRECTORY

and partly not.

Yeah, but more so than not.

Nene?

-We're on our way.

-How long?

-Half an hour.

-Buzz and l'll come down.

Okay.

-lf the tenants don't offer me one...

-Of course...

Lolo, do me a favour?

Could l use your phone?

Just a sec.

on the jealous side...

Hey, wait a minute...

Yes. Yes. that's it.

She must have got the wrong pot...

But if Joaquin brought this one...

-Don't worry about it.

-But it's impossible.

lt could happen to anyone.

Thanks, Lolo. l've been a bit

on edge these days...

My phone?

See you in a while.

TELEPHONE:
ANDREA.

RECORDlNG...

-Hello?

-Andrea? lt's Claudia. What's up?

-No news. Nothing.

-Call him.

Let him answer my emails,

l'm not going begging.

Maybe he heard something.

Fifty year-olds freak when they feel

threatened by a younger man.

Be kind and give him a call.

He's 44, Claudia.

And has been conducting long enough

to know what goes on in an orchestra.

He knows several are willing

to do you a favour.

Yeah, young...

and stupid. Sleep with them once

and they think they own you.

You can't even rehearse in peace.

Girl, you're not getting

any younger yourself.

Carlos is offering you

First Cello in Seville.

-lt's way to get back to Spain.

-Sure, but Spain's no prize for me.

First, he's got to work things out

with his ex. l won't be his lover.

l've got Joaquin for that, and

he's 100 percent married.

-Who, the gardener from upstairs?

-Claudia, l gotta hang up...

something's wrong with the computer.

l'll call support.

-l'll call you later.

-Fine.

Hello?

You're an angel! Sorry to bother

you, but l just don't get it.

lt's not your fault.

These cloned computers...

sometimes you just get

a bad processor...

and if the processor is bad,

then the chips start to go...

-Heard anything from Carlos?

-Emails get lost, don't they?.

Not if they were sent.

F***ing Carlos.

You're too good for that second rate

orchestra in Seville.

The London Philharmonic at least.

Take lessons from Yo-Yo Ma...

Find me a man who's got the dough

and l'm there.

He could be a toad or a geek.

Music makes up for everything.

So, what are you up to?

Well, actually, l'm closing

what you might call....

a very lucrative business deal.

Many thousands of dollars...

That's great!

Well, if you could

check out my computer...

Carlos might have written by now.

l'm gonna take a shower.

l don't know what l'd do

without you.

Lolo! Can you get the door?

Yes...

Yes...sorry,

coming, coming...

-This is Andrea's apartment, right?

-Yes.

l'm Lolo.

l'm her neighbour.

-We met once before.

-lf you don't mind...

Lolo? Who is it?

What the... Carlos!

Okay, look, say you've got a cell.

A human cell.

Right?

Now, for whatever reason that cell's

on the verge of going berserk.

One fine f***ing day when

your defences are down...

that cell's gonna blow.

Smoke, don't smoke, whatever...

You're gone.

-That's the hotel...

-What?

That's where we're going later.

See what l mean?

See what l'm saying?

Life...

is full of f***ing coincidences.

l'm out of cigarettes...

and that's the Russians' hotel.

-What?

-Now that's a f***ing coincidence!

ln that hotel l had

the sweetest piece of ass ever.

They were playing this song.

And the song, the girl and me...

we all came together.

Now, that's a f***ing coincidence!

Yeah, sure.

Deaf as a post...

You have good taste.

A pack of ''Tropicales''.

Just a moment.

Helps keep me from temptation.

Smoking's not allowed in here.

-Want one?

-Okay.

Didn't you say it wasn't allowed?

Customers can.

Where are you from?

Villa Ortuzar...

Buenos Aires.

-What are you doing here?

-Data Transmission...

Door to door.

-Thanks.

-Hey...

That's one of the few things

in life worth living for.

Get away!

See if this helps you understand,

my dear Thompson.

This, is one of the few things

in life worth living for.

Alright.

But blow your spare smoke

at someone else.

l'm dying for it...

Me too.

Well, let's see...

Off with your belt!
