Antonio is a middle aged exemplary employee at a notary office in Bogota. But he's fat, bald and short—and an outcast. His luck changes when a new boss arrives and possibilities for transformation appear. This simple but powerfully eloquent animation seems to shimmer, full of texture, conveying an amazingly clear sense of the urban landscape, gestures and emotions. It tells a poignant and at the same time sweet and funny tale of self-discovery.
