Summary |
An advertising executive in Santiago, Chile, is grappling with a midlife crisis when he begins to experience inexplicable episodes of amnesia. Hoping to outrace this dilemma, he plans to travel abroad for a year and chart the second half of his life. Instead, he will journey into an unexpected, and very foreign territory, one where the boundary between the self and the other becomes dangerously interchangeable, as he appears to inhabit the lives of other people--traversing the porousness of reality, and the malleability of consciousness. |
