Story: This black comedy narrates the odyssey of the cab driver Ulises who thinks he can get out of his straits by becoming an accomplice of his assailants. The easy money takes him off his route: somewhere in the upper district is the big loot that will allow them to pay for the Lada. After several failed robberies and being overwhelmed by the “Zero Tolerance”, the petty thieves end up in Ulises‘ house, in his intimacy and in that of Javiera, his daughter. That is too much for the cab driver, who decides to cut his ties in a radical way.

Actors: Alejandro Trejo, Fernando Gomez Rovia, Daniel Munoz
