Winner of the prestigious Silver Bear at Berlin’s 57th International Film Festival, THE OTHER is a psychological and metaphysical study of the nature of identity in the (post)modern age.  On a seemingly normal business trip to the country, a man, Juan Desouza (played by the award-winning Julio Chávez), suddenly decides to adopt the identity of the stranger beside him who happened to die along the way.  With an invented history and a potentially open future, Desouza begins a strange new journey, as he tries to come to grips with the life he once lived and the new one he seems to be choosing to live. Gripping.  English sub-titles.

EL OTRO est une étude psychologique et métaphysique sur la nature de l'identité à l'ère (post-)moderne. Pendant un voyage d'affaires apparemment normal en province, Juan Desouza décide soudain d'adopter l'identité de l'étranger qui meurt par hasard à ses côtés en cours de route. Avec une histoire inventée et un avenir potentiellement ouvert, Desouza entame un étrange voyage à mesure qu'il essaie de faire le point sur la vie qu'il a jadis vécue et la nouvelle vie qu'il semble choisir de vivre.
