I think I may have just seen the 2010 Oscar winner for best foreign film. It's a hell of a story.

Synopsis
Paul, a small-time con man, takes his new scheme—swindling and re-selling construction equipment—to a depressed community. His arrival, however, ignites an unexpected buzz of excitement among the townspeople—they think he’s there to restart the abandoned highway project that plunged them into economic turmoil. As desperate contractors throw big bucks his way to secure involvement, Paul’s con takes on a life of its own. But how long can he keep up the deception?Theatrical Release Date
