Lonesome, middle-aged virgin Antonio Farf\u00e1n is picked on and ridiculed as a matter of course, whether by coworkers or his bullying mooch of a brother (who only calls when he needs money). An employee of a notary\u2019s office, his status improves a bit when his new boss\u2014and strangely affable doppelganger\u2014takes an interest in him. But Farf\u00e1n\u2019s deep-seated shyness and insecurity are only partly assuaged. And when he joins a self-improvement group, he slowly confirms what the undulating lines of this sly, involving rotoscope story suggest: everything is in motion, and change is inevitable. The question becomes what use one makes of it.<\/p>\n
