EUFF2009 : En La Ciudad Sin Límites

Sinopsis : Victor joins his family in Paris to take care of his ailing father, Max. One day, he catches his father throwing away his medicine and furtively getting dressed with the intention of running away from the nursing home. The family, preoccupied with the inheritance of his pharmaceutical empire, dismisses this behaviour as unimportant; it is just the product of his "madness". Victor, however, moved by the loneliness of the old man, tries to gain his trust and ends up becoming his accomplice. He helps him escape from the clinic and accompanies him through the streets of Paris, where Max spent his youth and which he no longer recognises. Little by little, Victor finds out that Max's madness hides a secret. His father is not the man he had always appeared to be. He discovers that his mother did something which he cannot forgive. And he discovers that the family owes its existence to a lie.
