A young man spends a few weeks housekeeping for a relatively distant relative and enjoys taking over the comfort of their lives in Santiago. Soon, he meets a cute neighbor and starts pretending for his personal benefit.
A tragicomic Chilean drama, this droll study of a forty year-old man who tries to replace his unsatisfactory life with an invented alternative unfolds in a distinct triptych structure. The first and the third chapters deal with academic Bruno (Cristián Carvajal) and his wife Consuelo (Blanca Lewin). But these are just bookends to the middle section: house sitter Martin (Jorge Becker), a distant cousin of Bruno’s, moves into their airy family home while Bruno, Consuelo and their daughter live in France for three months. And for three months, Martin becomes someone else.
