Synopsis in English
Claudia Sainte-Luce (“The Amazing Catfish”) delivers a droll, offbeat and sometimes darkly funny comedy about glories past, consumerism and breaking away from social norms. Back in the day Billy Lozano used to be a member of the one-hit boy band Equinoccio. Today, he is a suburban stay-at-home dad, taking care of his newborn child, patiently dealing with former female fans who want to take a selfie with him at the grocery store, and being part of his brother’s get-rich-quick schemes. But when his neighbor from across the street, a former fan herself, encourages him to resume his music career, Billy finally begins to see a way out of his doldrums.
Actor Roberto Quijano is scheduled to attend this screening.
Sinopsis en Español
Claudia Sainte-Luce (“Los insólitos peces gato”) nos presenta una comedia divertida, poco convencional y, a veces, de un ligero humor negro sobre las glorias pasadas, el consumismo y la ruptura con las normas sociales. Años atrás, Billy Lozano integró la exitosa banda de chicos Equinoccio. Hoy, es un amo de casa suburbano que cuida de su hijo recién nacido mientras su esposa trabaja fuera de casa. Participa con su hermano en cualquier estratagema para hacerse rico de la noche a la mañana y renuentemente accede a tomarse selfies con sus fanáticas. Cuando su vecina de frente de su casa, una ex fan, lo alienta a reanudar su carrera musical, Billy comienza a ver una salida a su estancamiento.
El actor Roberto Quijano estará presente en esta función.
