Synopsis of El otro:

A man alone at home. He tries to talk to his son. He calls his friend, but he’s not there. He leaves a message. He says everything is fine and that he’s not going out that night. He hangs up and goes out… then comes back. Does he come back, or does “the other” come back? His friend still doesn’t answer the phone. Drink, drugs, unease, watching, pursuit in his own house… and he flees. Where to?
