Extraño

Axel is a man, a professional who hasn’t practised for years. He wanders among people and situations as if it were ‘the last days’. One day he meets a pregnant girl. She is alone. They build up a relationship, similar to love. This is a film which does not use many words. It is a film of a fragile silence.
