It all started when Don Francisco presented the final results of the stand-in contest of the TV show, “Sabados Gigantes” on the summer of 1978, in Santiago and the Chilean Charles Bronson appeared in my 16 inches, black and white Westinghouse, as the Chilean most similar to Charles Bronson. The Chilean Charles Bronson represents the drama of a country which no longer meets with its own abilities and desires and that, tired of looking for an identity that allows living happily, prefers to borrow another, one that is already made. Deep down, all of us are the Chilean Charles Bronson.

A girl is looking for a place to stay and gets caught between male desire and a conspiratorial plot that seems to allude to the Chile of the late ‘70s. Like in many of his other works, repetition, digressions in the dialogs, desire as obsession that is never fulfilled, and the insistent significance of the shoes, define a filmic personality.
