The Man Who Lived in a Shoe
2011, Spanish. Directed by Gabriella Gómez-Mont & Marcelino Islas Hernández.
This is the true story of a man, Jose Luis "El Guero" Robles Gil. It is also a story of reality versus imagination, love and madness, plus the opening and closing of the eyes: of a life poised almost at the border of fantasy. It is the story of a man who lived in a shoe, and the story of the woman who accompanied him, once upon a time.
