Simpatía
Blanco Calderón, Rodrigo
Ulises Kan is an orphan and a movie buff. Paulina, his wife, like so many people fleeing the ruined country in which they live, has decided to leave. Without him. Two more events end up disrupting her life: the return of Nadine, an unfinished love from the past, and the death of her father-in-law, General Martín Ayala. Thanks to his testament, Ulises discovers that he has been entrusted with a mission: to transform Los Argonautas, the great family home, into a home for abandoned dogs. If he manages to do it before the indicated time, he will inherit the luxurious apartment that he had shared with Paulina. The controversial will unleashes a plot that will wrap Ulysses between the intrigues of Paulina and the shadow of Nadine, which he cannot decipher. Meanwhile, the other inhabitants of the house will project their own stories and ghosts on the strange architecture. In a bankrupt society, where all human ties seem to have dissolved, Ulysses is like a stray dog ??that picks up the crumbs of sympathy. Can you really know who you love? What is, deep down, a family? Are abandoned dogs proof of the existence or non-existence of God? Ulysses unknowingly embodies these questions, as a pilgrim of affection in a post-love age.
