Acclaimed Argentine actor Nahuel Pérez Biscayart (120 BPM) stars as Remo Manfredini, a legendary jockey whose self-destructive behavior threatens both his talent and his relationship with his girlfriend, Abril. On the day of the most important race of his career—which could clear his debts to his ruthless boss Sirena—Remo suffers a severe accident. Vanishing from the hospital, he drifts through the streets of Buenos Aires, untethered from his past and discovering who he is truly meant to be. But Sirena wants him found, dead or alive. The latest film by Luis Ortega (The Angel), also starring Úrsula Corberó, Daniel Giménez Cacho, and Mariana Di Girólamo, is a stylized, freewheeling dark comedy with a playful edge.
