    The Gap (Spanish: El boquete) is a 2006 Argentine comedy-drama film directed and written by Mariano Mucci. It stars Valentina Bassi and Daniel Valenzuela.

    Synopsis

    When paterfamilias Escarfase (Mario Paolucci) is released from prison, he's immediately roped into a caper designed by thick-headed Ruben (Luis Ziembrowski), using a seemingly abandoned house as the command center for tunneling into the neighboring bank vault. Also on board are Escarfase's hooker daughter Mirna (Valentina Bassi), whose participation in a porn film takes up an indefensible amount of screen time considering the minuscule laugh pay-off. The opening promises more than it can deliver, but like the rest of pic, scenes start well and devolve into wasted footage. Bouncy music is used indiscriminately and, like the overly sunny lensing, gets tired quickly.

    Overview

    Two script docs are credited in "The Gap," but a whole surgical team is needed to excise overlong scenes and to substitute real laughs for the anarchy on display.

    Der Spalt

    Der Spalt (The Gap - Mindcontrol) is a 2014 German feature film. The film was written and directed by Kim Schicklang. It was released on June 7, 2014. In 2015 the film won an international film prize in Jakarta.

    Plot

    The film is a drama which revolves around the isolation of a young transsexual called Alex. She is living together with her jobless mother in a dystopia. There is no hope for her. But Alex is getting in touch with Christian, a photo reporter. He is the first who recognized Alex as a woman. Together they try a revolution against sex and gender norming.

    The Gap

    by: Thompson Twins

    Wake up in a strange land
    one of forty thieves.
    And I see for the first time just what you believe.
    I go down to the market where I can buy or sell
    And I listen to the chanting and all the lies that wise ones tell.
    They say: East is East - West is West
    Two different colours on the map.
    We say:Break the line
    chew the fat
    keep moving out into the gap.
    Beggars in the backstreets
    there for all the world to leave
    It's you that's begging for attention
    well
    it's all the same to me.
    And I won't ask permission not from teachers or from kings
    'cos I can see for myself all the pain that you will bring.
    They say: East is East - West is West
    Two different rhythms on the map. . . .
    East is East - West is West
    Two different colours on the map. . . .
    Can you smell the perfume of a hundred thousand years?
    Dare you look into the eyes that hide a hundred million tears?
    No need to be so frightened of all the figures in the night
    'cos we shared the same emotions and no-one's wrong and no-one's right.
    They say: East is East - West is West
    Two different colours on the map. . . .
    They say: East is East - West is West
    . . .
    They say: East is East - West is West
