Spotted the synopsis of a movie this morning by Columbian director Carlos Osuna with a message that may hit home for some of us little guys. Here is the description from Hispanically Speaking News:
“’Fat, bald, short man’ is a dark humored animated movie telling the story of Antonio Farfán, a 46 year old lonely man working in a Notary’s office, rejected by his colleagues, who has always believed that his personal and professional failure is because he is bald, fat and short. However, someday a new notary arrives, Mister Enriquez, a shorter, balder and fatter man that, unlike Antonio, has a successful career and earns people’s respect pretty easily. After seeing this, Antonio realizes that his existential failure is not because of his looks and begins reproaching himself [for] the kind of life he has lived so far.”
The movie is playing at the Chicago International Film Festival. Don’t see it on Netflix, yet, but you can watch a clip on YouTube and read a little more on IMDB. You can even check out the film’s Facebook page, if you speak Spanish.
Spotted any other movies with life as a short man as the main theme?
