El Clown
(The Clown, by Pedro Adorno and Emilio Rodríguez, Puerto Rico, 2005, 105 min)
Xavier del Monte is a small-town circus clown whose ambition takes him to the big city. There, an ad agency selects him as the Hot Dog Clown, the media character of a fast-food campaign that appeals to children and mothers. Success changes his life. He moves into an uptown apartment, buys a new car, enjoys shopping and falls in love. But the ad agency forbids him from exposing his true self to the public. At the top of his success, Xavier feels empty inside and does not know why. Now he will have to choose between affluence and happiness.
With Guest Director Pedro Adorno!
