SUMMARY:Chicago Public Library Event -  Global Lens 2012 Film Screening—The Finger (El Dedo)  
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong><em>The Finger (El Dedo)</em></strong>&nbsp; <strong>Sergio Teubal, Argentina, 2011, 93 minutes</strong></p>
<br>
<p>After seven years of dictatorship, a remote village in Argentina formally becomes a town with the birth of its 501st inhabitant. Hidalgo, a slick and ingratiating scion, is eager for the new post of mayor. Smelling a rat, Baldomero (a beloved natural leader with a habitually tapping digit) opposes him with his own candidacy&mdash; and soon turns up dead. His shopkeeper brother vows revenge, keeping Baldomero&rsquo;s severed finger in a jar, initially as a remembrance, but eventually as an absurd icon of leadership that spurs the town to defy crooked elections and interloping powers to go its own way. Based on real events, this charming dramatic comedy pokes fun at small town traditions while celebrating true democratic values. &nbsp;Spanish, with English subtitles.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
