ONE-SENTENCE SYNOPSIS Renzo’s family is a fan of River Plate FC and the men in his family have held high-ranking positions in the club.

SYNOPSIS Renzo is thirty years old and his family is a fan of the River Plate FC. In addition, some men in the family held high-ranking positions in the club. Renzo works of what he likes when he can and when he can’t he works as his brother’s assistant and gofer. Renzo decided to devote himself to art and his family became a stranger to him. He starts to review his story while he tries to learn to drive, establish a romantic relationship and write himself into that distant world. This is how Renzo draws a bridge from fiction to wander between his two dissimilar worlds. DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT My family identity is crossed by the feeling of belonging to the River Plate FC. I have always lived that mandate from a place of rejection. What happens to the men who do not stand in this world where they now all seem to float without a firm ground? How do I personify this body in my own way? Growing up in a foreign world reinforced my intrigue. In the last time I asked myself about that inheritance that I did not accept. A simple question came to me: how much am I that universe that I rejected. That rejection is also denial. That universe defined who I am. I am also what I did not want to be.
