The unlikely pair go out for dinner where the truth rules outthat the woman's suicide attempt was a stunt to attract customers. Stunned by her story, the man offers his new friend a lump sum in exchange for her story, the perfect material for a novel. Eliseo Subiela (MAN FACING SOUTHEAST) has specialized in unusual works, and this work of magical realism could be the most outrageous film of the Argentine director's career.
