Young unemployed actor seeks work in the catering industry. The synopsis of El Penalti may seem like an advertising for words, but the tone goes beyond the disenchanted image of one of many contemporary working odysseys: the irony and humor inherent in the absurd, pushed by the perplexed and phlegmatic humanity of the actor Fram Capa. In difficult times there is no choice but to offer the world our best smile, even if it is as false as a resumé. (Martin Pawley)
