Plot

Barely seventeen, Carlitos possesses a magnetic allure, his blond curls and cherubic face belying a darker inclination. This baby-faced youth, who once nurtured a harmless fascination for other people's possessions, soon discovers his true destiny lies on a more dangerous path - that of a thief. This latent calling reveals itself upon meeting Ramon, a newcomer at his school. In a bid to seize Ramon's attention, Carlitos embarks on a reckless journey, a tumultuous blend of discovery, passion, and crime. The violence that unfurls is as unpredictable as it is escalating, with homicide becoming a chilling byproduct of their escalating crimes. Yet, despite the bloodshed and brutality, Carlitos remains a paradox, his angelic appearance earning him the media's morbid moniker - "The Angel of Death." His unlikely charm and unsettling beauty transform him into an instant sensation, an overnight celebrity in the grim world of crime. The tale of Carlitos, a fictionalized portrait of the real-life Argentinian serial killer Carlos Robledo Puch, is a journey through a life lived on the edge. Arrested in 1972, barely out of his teens, he was charged with over forty thefts and eleven cold-blooded killings. Today, after forty-six years of continuous incarceration, Carlos Robledo Puch holds the somber title of being the longest-serving prisoner in the history of Argentina. In the movie "El Angel," the captivating allure of Carlitos's world intertwines with the grotesque reality of his crimes, painting a complex picture of a young man whose golden curls were as notorious as his deadly aim.
