Directed by Azazel Jacobs • 2005 • United States
Starring Azazel Jacobs, Gerardo Naranjo, Diaz
A story about stolen love and stolen identities, literally shot on stolen film, writer-director Azazel Jacobs’s second feature is an absurdist comedy of errors, a punk-rock slice of DIY rebellion, and a warmhearted frolic wherein hot-tempered Echo Park slacker Rodolfo Cano (Jacobs) enlists in the army to escape a meaningless existence with his free-spirited girlfriend (Diaz). When his call-for-service letter somehow winds up in the hands of another Rodolfo Cano (Gerardo Naranjo), a quietly dignified loner who lives on a sailboat, their three lives intersect in odd and beautifully unexpected ways.
