"Rosselli is a director who knows how to look and wait, who thinks forms free from imperatives, custom-made for the characters he decides to meet. Here, the structure is built upon Oscar –his elusive memory, his own tricks. The Theater House, his home, is the scenery of an invocation: A building as real as it is fantastic, the museum of a past that’s eminently fictional, the limbo of representation again turned into film." - Magdalena Arau, BAFICI
Oscar Brizuela is an 80 year old actor. He lives at a Theatre House, an institution for retired actors and people from the entertainment business industry. Slowly recovering from a heart attack, he suffers some memory loss and troubles on the go. He has almost no contact with his family and it’s been 10 years since he knew from Maximiliano, his son. While recovering he manages to remember some things. Hypothesis of his whereabouts, course, and a few addresses. With a registry that combines found footage, documentary observation and interviews, this movie attempts to represent this drift.
