El custodio

RUBÉN WORKS AS A BODYGUARD FOR AN ARGENTINE MINISTER. FOLLOW HIS FOOTSTEPS WITHIN A WORLD THAT IS FOREIGN TO HIM. IF THE MINISTER GETS OUT OF HIS CAR, RUBEN GETS OUT OF HIS. IF THE MINISTER TURNS TO THE LEFT, RUBÉN TURNS TO THE LEFT. IF THE MINISTER TRAVELS TO MAR DEL PLATA, RUBÉN TRAVELS TO MAR DEL PLATA WITH HIM. IF THE MINISTER GOES TO THE FIELD WITH HIS FAMILY ON THE WEEKEND, RUBÉN HAS TO GO WITH THEM. IF THE MINISTER DECIDED TO TAKE A BREAK AND SLEEP FOR A WHILE, RUBEN HAS TO WATCH A SLEEPING MAN. THE CUSTODIAN BRINGS US CLOSER TO A MAN WHO HAS STOPPED FEELING HIS LIFE AS SUCH, OF BEING THE PROTAGONIST OF HIS OWN LIFE. PLUNGERED IN THIS KIND OF NON-EXISTENCE, HE WILL MOVE LIKE A SHADOW IN THE WORLD OF THOSE SURROUNDING HIM. TIRED OF SUPPORTING THE INFIDELITIES OF THE MANAGER, HIS HYPOCRISY AND THE DISDEMAND WITH WHICH HE TREATS HIM, RUBÉN BECOMES HIS OWN BODYGUARD'S GREATEST THREAT.
