Mario Bellatín is a one-armed Mexican writer with an amazing vitality; even when he says that he is already dead, and even when he writes auto-biographical texts where his own name perishes and is replaced by a heteronym who still recognizes himself as his own ghost.

Argentine director Gonzalo Castro manages to capture the beauty of everyday life in this experimental portrait of the one-armed Mexican novelist (and ultimate prankster!) Mario Bellatín. Just like Bellatín’s fiction, the film treads a fine line between “truth” and “fiction”—wait, is the joke on us?
