Two seemingly unrelated events -- the revelation that his wife is pregnant and his surprisingly poor performance on a routine vision test -- set the perfectly conventional life of mild-mannered notary Juan Desouza (Julio Chávez) adrift. When a bus accident en route to Victoria, Argentina, results in the death of a complete stranger, the aging Desouza takes the name of the deceased as his alias and stumbles away from banality and obligation into a troubling adventure in escapism.

Audience Member Um rosto fala mais do que mil palavras. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Kalh tainia gia to pws thes na ksefygeis apo thn kathimerinothta sou. Vlepetai alla den einai kai tipota to idiaitero. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Yo no se que le vieron (o que tomaron) los del jurado del Festival de Berlin, pero a pesar de ponerle toda la garra, no pasa de unos regulares 5 Fernandos. O sea, se entiende la idea de que el tipo se quiere evadir de su vida, pero: no pasa casi nada en toda la pelicula! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Lamenté ver a Julio Chavez en esta película. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Je vois pas pourquoi les gens s'affolent autour de ce film. L'acteur est bon mais franchement, on s'ennuie! Pour ma part, rarement trouve que 1h23 au cine ct si long.. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member the idea was interesting, Julio Chavez plays very well... but besides that, I got bored; it's nothing like taking someone else's identity (as critiques wrote); it's just about a successful man who feels uncomfortable with his life and decides to leave everything behind.... just giving fake names at hotels, hoping he could become someone else but the person he became...
