La Gotera

1/19/2025

It's pouring down with rain outside, but it's not a great deal more dry inside a man's apartment with a bucket collecting the incessant drips. Imagine his surprise when the ceiling comes crashing down! That turns more to shock when he sees a fully clothed body - dressed straight out of "The Matrix" lying amidst the debris on his floor. What to do? Fetch help? Too late for that, really, and the storm has knocked out the phones. It's a quandary. Anyway, he'd better move him but when something else falls from the hole in his roof, the something else. This is quite a stylish short drama with a little dark humour and just an hint of mystery as Dominique Pinon mixes some expressions of bamboozlement with some slightly comedic gymnastics. Perhaps it could be the subject of a song?
