Remo is a successful jockey in Argentina, but his unpredictability causes a lot of of headaches for Sirena, his manager and a mafia boss. Just before an important race, Remo goes missing again. Under the influence of alcohol and drugs, he lets his hair down in a seedy bar. Sirena’s henchmen find him just in time, but at the racetrack, Remo disastrously botches his start in a manner that is almost slapstick.
In this burlesque comedy, actor Nahuel Pérez Biscayart steals the show with his deadpan expression. Chameleon-like, he takes on various forms throughout the film and undergoes a psychological transformation. With a brilliant sequence of dance—featuring bizarre choreographics, sex and absurd humor, the film challenges and breaks narrative conventions. It serves as a study of the cost of fame and a character searching for his identity.
