The Author

Álvaro separates from his wife, Amanda, a jubilant best‑seller writer, and decides to pursue his dream: to write a great novel. But he is incapable; he has no talent or imagination… Guided by his writing professor, he delves into the pillars of the novel, until one day he discovers that fiction is written with reality. Álvaro begins manipulating his neighbors and friends to create a story, a real story that surpasses fiction… Adaptation of "El móvil", the first novel by Javier Cercas, published in 1987.

Martín Cuenca films the disillusionment with a biting humor that hurts. Necessary.
