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.

In every moment...

Clara!

I miss you.

For example, you break your neck

in the bathtub...

get bitten by a rabid dog,

struck by lightning...

get shoved under the metro.

A bus comes...

as you step off the curb

without looking...

suffocated, electrocuted...

-There are nineteenth million ways...

-Nine-teen...

Say it. Nine-teen.

Say it.

-Nine-teen.

-There...

Be the wiseguy now, Nene...

but keep sucking down smoke like that

and you'll never reach my age.

Whatever. l'd rather have a short,

good life than a long, boring one.

-Doesn't prove the contrary...

-The contrary of what?

Of what you're saying.

And what am l saying?

The same as l am, for God's sake.

We're saying the same f***ing thing.

No. No, sir.

No we're not.

l said short.

Good evening.

The rocks, please.

lt all depends what you call short

and what you call long.

-What's he say?.

-You've given us sh*t!

F***, that could be

my neighbour.

-What did he say?.

-There is not a f***ing thing on it.

Right.

Do you think we're stupid?

He might be right.

lt might not have anything on it.

Give me the disc.

He's copying it, the f***ing Russian!

He's copying it!

You okay, Nene?

-You got hit, kid, you got hit.

-Get him!

Over there!

Nene!

Thompson!

Wait!

lt was my mistake, dude...

lt was that girl...!

We can fix it, man!

Baby, gimme kisses

from your Iips...

from those Iips that drive me wiId.

I want a tasty IittIe kiss...

Goyo, did you take money

from that Russian?

Yes, to pay the mortgage.

F***ing Russian...

he must be round here

somewhere.

Nene...

Let's go to the chemist's

so they can plug that hole.

No... l'll manage.

Don't be an idiot...

We'll look for the Russian later.

All set, Don Alberto.

Don Alberto!

You're all set,

just let me brush you down.

No, no, don't look for it.

lt's on the house.

l'll see you out.

Take it easy, now.

Come back whenever you want.

God bless you, Don Alberto.

Goyo!

He gets a free haircut and

l can't afford cigarettes?

Like what that old man could pay

would make a difference.

lt's that stupid way of thinking

that got us where we are.

Do you know how much you spend

on cigarettes, Carmen?

See? When God closes a window

a door opens.

Still open?

Yes.

Sorry to be cautious, but we can't

be too careful these days.

-Can l help you?

-l want to shave beard and head.

-Didn't you like the way l cut it?

-Yes liked. But changed mind.

Keep your mouth shut,

you look prettier!

lnside, come on.

Don't hurt me, please.

Take everything,

but please, don't hurt me.

Quiet...

-lt's all in the top drawer...

-This isn't a f***ing hold-up!

Look after Nene's wound.

l can't. l've never dressed
