Chasing Fireflies

Manrique is the man in charge of watching an abandoned salt mine located in a recondite place of the Colombian Caribbean. In his work he has found the perfect excuse to isolate himself from a world that does not appeal to him anymore. Nevertheless, the unusual appearance of a dog that likes to chase fireflies in the dark, and the unexpected arrival of Valeria, a thirteen years old daughter whose existence he ignore, will allow this solitary man an opportunity to recover the joy of being alive.

Unemployed and lonely, Carlos Perea passes his days seated in front of the television. His life goes on without novelties until his routine is interrupted by the connection of a telephone line that he does not wish. His attempts to get rid of the line will become a kafkian delirium, a black comedy that approaches subjects like marital life, corporations, consumption and middle-class.
