But his excessive lifestyle and debts to the mafia threaten to destroy both his career and his relationship with his girlfriend Abril. On the big day of his planned comeback, after a serious fall, he loses not only the race but also his memory. Freed from his past, but with plenty of style, he wanders through the colorful streets of Buenos Aires and develops a new identity: Remo becomes Dolores. However, gangster boss Sirena couldn't care less, as he is primarily interested in his money. And so his quirky gang does everything to track him down. A curious chase ensues.Director Luis Ortega stages a surreal mix of mafia thriller and absurd tragicomedy – somewhere between Wes Anderson's meticulous aesthetic and Yorgos Lanthimos's quirky existentialism; with the unmistakable visual language of Kaurismäki's regular cinematographer Timo Salminen.
