Ezequiel is a young architecture student whose world begins to collapse when he finds out that there is another man in his girlfriend Ana's life. He does not know how to handle the situation very well and makes a series of bad decisions in retaliation. Damián Szifron creates a dramatic, suspenseful, and comedic film which develops very unexpectedly. From the very beginning of the film we follow Ezequiel, learning who he is and what he does. After his realization of the events which his girlfriend has taken part in, we begin to experience a side of Ezequiel which seems to be as new to us as it is to him. His actions at various times are very abrupt and without much thought, which make the audience wish they could stop him or at least advise him. This is a good sign that the director achieves capturing us in the story and causing us to feel what the main character feels, although there is nothing we could do about it. Although Ezequiel's rash actions give the public occasional scares, after the fact they become quite comical and ensure the viewer an enjoyable movie watching experience.
