A paranoid psychological thriller about suspicion and hidden identity, where a lonely film enthusiast's growing distrust of his mysterious roommate becomes a descent into ambiguity and dread.

In a rundown area of Buenos Aires, at the dawn of the 1980s, Adrian LeDuc owns both a struggling movie theater and a shabby apartment building filled with eccentric, squabbling tenants. To make ends meet, Adrian takes in a roommate, Jack Carney, but soon begins to suspect that the quiet American is responsible for a series of political assassinations that are rocking the city.
