13‑year‑old “El Polaquito” sings tangos on Buenos Aires commuter trains, echoing “El Polaco”. He falls for a 16‑year‑old prostitute caught in a child‑exploitation ring run by the station mafia. To rescue her he confronts gang leaders and younger kids who see the mafia as their hope. An actual case uncovered in Argentina in the late 1990s‑early 2000s.
