A search for Roberto Arturo Belano, a Chilean poet who has become a myth since he disappeared in Mexico in 1999.
Arturo Belano, alter ego of the writer Roberto Bolaño, shared with his creator a significant part of his biography. The film searches for him in places where his stories and novels occur, meeting with real and imaginary characters, in a territory where reality and fiction have a blurred frontier. A new form of the literary biopic, where the writer and his character turn into one and the same person.
