Castro

Castro is on the run. He’s left his life behind and is now living in hiding in a room in a small town. He was alone, but someone has appeared in his life: Celia. She is young, beautiful and sometimes cruel. Celia and Castro survive together with no job or money. One day they abandon the small town and head to the capital in search of a new place to stay. There, Castro starts looking for a job. Meanwhile, the couple is followed by a motley crew of other characters, each one for different reasons: Castro’s former teacher, Samuel, because he needs him; his ex, Rebecca Thompson, because she loves him; Willy the cynic, for reasons that are unclear; and the unfortunate Acuna, because he is being paid to find Castro. At some point, this group catches up with Castro and Celia. Confusion ensues. Castro is on the run again, but this time he disappears forever.
