Wiki.
La patota (Lunfardo for "The gang" or "The mob") is a 1960 Argentine black-and-white drama film directed by Daniel Tinayre. The film focuses on Paula Vidal Ugarte (Legrand), a young attractive teacher who takes a professorship at a night school located in a marginal area of Buenos Aires, where is she is gang-raped by a group of students.
La patota was written by Eduardo Borrás and starred Tinayre's wife Mirtha Legrand. The film was in competition for the Golden Bear at the 11th Berlin International Film Festival, where Tinayre was given the C.I.D.A.L.C. Award. Now considered a modern movie classic, La patota was remade as Paulina by director Santiago Mitre in 2015, with Dolores Fonzi playing the main role.
