Synopsis
An old Italian immigrant, owner of a wig shop, hosts endless parties animated by a soundtrack of doubles to show that he still remains in force from his heyday in the dictatorship. The transition between this vertigo and the later loneliness of its protagonist, is the inspiration to portray a two-faced world. A simple story that reveals the real man behind the public party persona.

José Luis Sepúlveda
Learned Cinema in the Popular Film School and worked collectively and actively in Feciso Social and Antisocial Film Festival. From his early work he focused his cinematographic search on the dominant political skepticism, the indifference in the current political image and the everyday language as tools in representation and in the situation of movement and space. He has co directed the films such as El Pejesapo, Mitomana, The Opener and Chronicle of a committee.

Carolina Andrea Adriazola
She has produced a variety of short films that in their content portrays issues such as discrimination of complex human relationships, such as Montgolfier, Vasnia, Aztlán and El Destapador.

Carolina is co-founder of the FECISO Social and Antisocial Film Festival, also of the first Popular Film School.
