14A - Substance Abuse.

Norberto is cruising through life until he loses his job and has to start fresh. He chooses not to inform his wife of his job loss and switches careers by joining a real estate company. However, Norberto’s shyness prevents him from impressing his new boss and closing out his sales. His boss suggests that Norberto sign up for an assertiveness course, but instead, Norberto joins an acting class.

His newfound love for theatre and the energy of his young classmates awakens something inside Norberto. He pours all of his energy into acting and starts to find his inner voice, even at the expense of his relationship with his wife Silvia—he is entirely afraid to shed his old life and habits. With a pinch of dry humor and a razor-sharp script, actor Daniel Hendler (FAMILY LAW, LOST EMBRACE) makes his feature directorial debut with a fascinating portrayal of a potentially volatile character who balances on the line between losing it all and achieving fame and success.
