A Mysterious World

I'm afraid that I rather struggled to engage with this. It is all about the escapades of the startled "Boris" (Esteban Bigliardi) who has just been told by his long-term girlfriend "Ana" (Cecilia Rainero) that she wants a break. It's a bolt from the blue, and one that comes with some unwelcome side effects. He has to move out of their apartment and live from his suitcase in a hotel room. She isn't seeing anyone else, nor can she furnish him with any reason for her ennui with their relationship which makes matters even more frustrating for the now rudderless "Boris". Trying to get on with his life as best he can, he buys himself what looks like a dilapidated old Trabant that could barely pull the skin from a custard, and begins to reintegrate himself into a fairly unforgiving society of singletons who are as unimpressed with his personality as I was becoming. A few one-night-stands later and we find ourselves at what is perhaps the more potent junction of this otherwise fairly dreary melodrama as it illustrates just how difficult it can be to rejoin groups of friends when the wheel has come off an established partnership, but I found neither of them to be remotely interesting as people nor is there anything like enough substance to their story to improve that as we drift towards a conclusion that is hardly a surprise. There are too many pregnant pauses throughout and though the car does provide a few seconds of levity, this was an altogether too naval-gazingly uninteresting film for me, sorry.
