SYNOPSIS: A lonely character in Mexico City slips through life by uncontrollably changing from one body to the next, traveling through and ultimately abandoning them when he’s done. His boredom and hopelessness are thrown into stark relief by his love for Luisa. He thus begins a struggle to communicate that love through different faces and bodies, hoping to find a way to be with her despite his condition.
