L'Histoire presque vraie de Pepita la Pistolera est un film uruguayen réalisé par Beatriz Flores Silva, sorti en 1993.

Synopsis

Susana ne sait plus où trouver de l'argent pour survivre avec sa petite fille, après que son mari est hospitalisé dans un asile psychiatrique. Un jour, elle décide de cambrioler une maison de crédits, et se lance ainsi à une succession de délits similaires, croyant à chaque fois que ce sera la dernière. La presse l'appelle "Pepita la pistolera" et la décrit comme une dangereuse délinquante alors qu'elle ne cherche qu'à résoudre des besoins de base de manière temporaire. Un jour, la TV annonce que la police a finalement attrapé Pepita la Pistolera et montre la photo d'une pauvre femme, mère d'un bébé de six mois. Pepita décide donc d'organiser un dernier cambriolage.

The film begins with gruff American gangster Dickey pushing his broken-down car along a causeway through rising seawater while his eccentric companion Albie lies inside, bleeding from a gunshot wound after a bungled robbery. Cut off by the unexpected rising tide, they are on the only road to a bleak and remote tidal island (Lindisfarne in Northumberland), where, in a dark castle on a hilltop, a highly neurotic Englishman named George lives with his pretty and promiscuous young French wife Teresa. Dickey disconnects the phone lines and proceeds to hold the two hostage while awaiting further instructions from his underworld boss, the mysterious Katelbach.
