Spoilers... kind of. an actor from a soap opera, argentine Nico comes to New York City to find fame and fortune. he's currently working part time as a manny, but so many things are not working out for him. a producer lays out what she thinks he should do to help him find work in show biz, but of course, that will take SO much time and money. neither of which he has right now. Guillermo Pfening is Nico, who was hoping to get some level of success before he has to leave the US, but so far, it's not working out. and part of his problem is that he's not honest with himself, or with the others in his life. the ending is a little confusing, since we're not sure exactly what he's doing in the last few minutes, but we DO see what he's NOT doing anymore. he's moved on to new things, and tells off the (closeted, married) ex lover. i guess the ending is a bit symbolic... maybe WE can't tell just what he's doing now, because he doesn't know either ? or maybe i just missed something. It's well done, and makes me want to see other projects from this writer, director, and cast. lots of long spaces and pauses, which is okay, but may turn off some.
