The Incredible Metamorphosis of Juan Perez 2017

Because we need a hero

Directed by Alvaro Pruneda

Juan Pérez is an ordinary Chilean; one who goes through his monotonous life unnoticed, surviving debts, his crushing work, minimum wage, and loneliness. Until one day, out of luck, he prevents a robbery and is given hero status by the media. This lasts 24 hours. Forced to return to his routine, Juan falls into a spiral of excess and madness, and ends up the opposite of the hero he wanted to be.
