action
Juan Desouza's father is terminally ill. His wife is pregnant. The problems get over his head. When a casual travel companion dies on a business trip, he takes the chance to get out of his previous life. He assumes the identity of the dead person and looks for a new job and a new place of residence. Juan quickly understands the possibilities of starting a life from scratch and is enthusiastic about this new life. One identity is soon no longer enough for him. He changes again and creates more biographies. After 48 hours it's all over.
Reviews
"This trip would have been more exciting if it hadn't been told by Rotter as a walk with endless breaks on every street corner."
"The film is wonderfully coherent and not only perfectly cast in the main role with Julio Chávez."
"A quiet and coherent film that lives entirely from the acting skills of its outstanding protagonist and the dream-lost, sleepwalking images."
Awards
