Plot

Antonio Farfán, a civil servant in a notary's office, feels frustrated in several aspects, such as his work and his personal life, due to his appearance: he is fat, bald and short, and this has made him a victim of mockery and mistreatment. With the arrival of a new boss, fatter, balder and shorter, but successful, Antonio will have the opportunity to rethink the vision of the world that has been built by his appearance, thus facing his fears.

Reception

Variety said, "The pic’s limited-animation artistry and oversimplistic storyline complement each other to reinvent the familiar: the fragile existence of a shy, middle-aged virgin with low self-esteem constantly battered by family and co-workers. Modest pic could pleasantly surprise at fests."[7]
