CortometrajesTranscripción
00:00A failed screenwriter, who lives in a world where people cannot lie, mysteriously acquires the ability to do so, and from then on begins to use it to his advantage, to improve his life.
00:11The story begins with a voice that explains to us that in this world, people do not have the ability to lie, so there is nothing similar to deceit.
00:21Flattery or fiction do not exist, and everyone says exactly what they think.
00:26It has never mattered that the truth might be something difficult to hear.
00:31Each person expresses what they truly think without feeling any shame or embarrassment in doing so.
00:37But in an incredible way, and for the first time in the history of this world, we are about to witness something impressive.
00:45A man with an apparently failed life is going to tell his first lie without even realizing it, and with this, he will cause everything to change unexpectedly.
00:56This is how we meet our protagonist, Mark, who is looking for a pretty girl named Anna to have his first blind date.
01:03When greeting the girl, she tells him that she is busy touching herself because it is something she enjoys and she really cannot lie to hide it.
01:11She also tells him that she is a little disappointed because he arrived a bit earlier and therefore interrupted her in this intimate situation.
01:20That is why she decides to go up to her room for a moment to finish this matter and then come back for their date.
01:26As if that were not enough, Anna also has no problem telling him that she does not find him attractive at all, and when they arrive at the restaurant, the man who serves them tells our protagonist that this woman is out of his league, making him feel completely uncomfortable.
01:43During the evening, we find out that Anna is a successful businesswoman, and right there, she receives a call from her annoying mother, with whom she begins to talk about intimate things, but since there is nothing to hide, we can hear her criticizing Mark's physical appearance without any delicacy.
02:00When everything ends and he walks her home, surprisingly, the girl confesses she had a better time than she expected, and says goodbye with a tender kiss on the cheek, telling him that maybe she will call him back.
02:14The next day, Mark meets his neighbor, Frank, in the elevator, and the man casually tells him that in recent days, he's been trying to end his life by taking many pills, because of course, he cannot lie about it.
02:26On his way to work, he manages to hear several overly sincere conversations between many strangers, and in this way, we can see that many of them are unhappy.
02:37When he arrives at his office, we discover that he is a screenwriter for a film and series production company.
02:43He has a co-worker named Shelley, who cannot hide the hatred she feels for him, and always reminds him of it whenever she can.
02:49Later, his boss comes to see him to confess that his latest scripts are really boring, so he has no choice but to fire him, and there is no turning back.
02:59Help me reach 10 likes and 5 comments.
03:03Comment, the important thing is to get there.
03:06Help me reach 1,000 subscribers, as we are about to achieve it.
03:10Thank you very much in advance.
03:13Let's continue.
03:14Right there, he receives an email from Anna that complicates his day, because in it, she tells him that she is not willing to keep going out with him,
03:22since his appearance and financial situation are not what she expected, and this could ruin her future.
03:29With no other option, he picks up his things from the office, and before leaving, Shelley says goodbye, reminding him of the hatred she feels for him.
03:37Then, we meet his colleague and rival named Brad, who has come to see him to gloat that he is now unemployed, and that now he will be the best screenwriter in the company.
03:47Then, he goes to a nursing home, where he meets his mother, who, unfortunately, is not doing so well.
03:54Even so, he tells her that he was fired, and tenderly confesses that he wishes he could change things so as not to be a loser like her.
04:02The next morning, he wakes up thanks to the landlord of his building, who comes to collect the $800 rent, but Mark is in such a complicated situation that he has no way to pay it.
04:13That's why he tries to explain the situation to him, but the man doesn't seem to care much.
04:18Then, he goes to the bank to withdraw everything he has in his account.
04:22The problem is that at that moment, the system is down, and the teller thinks of asking what the exact amount he has deposited is so she can help him.
04:31Right then, something strange begins to happen in his brain, and without much effort, Mark tells his first lie in life, claiming that he has $800 in the account.
04:41Seconds later, the system begins to work, and the woman sees that in the system, there are only $300 in his name.
04:49But, since in this world no one can lie, the teller believes him and gives him the money.
04:55Afterwards, he goes to a bar to try to talk about this with some friends, but he doesn't manage to figure out the situation because it is something totally unknown.
05:04Instead of this, he begins to lie about his name and skin color, saying that he is a black man, and thus, he realizes that they believe any absurd thing he tells them.
05:15Then, he decides to set a new plan in motion, telling a beautiful woman that they must make love to avoid the end of the world.
05:22Immediately, the stranger agrees to go with him to a hotel, and although she is convinced to do it, our protagonist decides not to force her.
05:31Instead, he returns with his friend to a casino, where he uses his new ability with lies to win a lot of money without anyone being able to find out.
05:41When he returns home, he meets Franz again, who confesses to him that now he is trying to end his life using a rope.
05:49So, to try to help him, Mark asks him not to do it again, because he really is someone important, and they arrange a night out with Franz that same night.
05:58Thanks to this, he begins to do some good deeds with unhappy strangers who have problems, trying to make them happy.
06:06Because of this, he gives money to a homeless man, and resolves a couple's argument.
06:12Now, he is a much more confident man, so he decides to call Anna to tell her that he now has a better economic condition,
06:21and considers that this time, he can be an incredible candidate for her, convincing her to accept the new date.
06:28Then, our protagonist decides to watch television, and there he discovers that Brad is being regarded as the best writer in the world.
06:39Immediately, he feels some envy, and at the same time, begins to write a new script, to take it to his former boss.
06:46In this meeting, he tells him a false story about his walk, in which he found a chest, and inside it an old script that would be the greatest discovery of humanity.
06:59Quickly, he begins to read the script, leaving him totally impressed.
07:04That is why the boss decides to call all the employees, so they can listen to each line of the crazy script that our protagonist invented just hours ago.
07:15And each one of the spectators is fascinated, so they immediately decide to start shooting the movie.
07:23That night comes the time of the date with Anna.
07:25Of course, he uses his new ability to tell interesting stories, and tells her that now that he has become a rich man, maybe they could be together.
07:36But the girl does not agree with this, since, despite enjoying his company, she does not feel good about his physical appearance,
07:44and would not want her children to be so chubby with an ugly nose like him.
07:49To make things a little more complicated, Mark receives a call from the hospital, since his mother had a heart attack, and the doctor believes she could die at any moment.
07:59Upon hearing this, the old woman begins to feel scared, because everyone speaks horrible things about death and the eternity of nothingness that awaits her.
08:10Because of this, her health worsens quickly, and seeing her in this state, our protagonist decides to lie again.
08:18He tells her that she is mistaken about death, and that when it happens, she will simply go to her favorite place in the world.
08:26She will be young again to do what she loves most, which is dancing.
08:31And she will live an eternity without pain, where she can also reunite with her deceased relatives.
08:38In the middle of this beautiful and very hopeful story, his mother dies at his side.
08:44But something even more surprising happens in that same room.
08:49It turns out that the doctor and the nurses heard every one of his words,
08:54so they begin to take interest in the supposed life after death and ask him to speak a little more about it.
09:02After this loss, Mark takes Anna to the house, and there the woman begins to feel somewhat attracted to him,
09:08even if only out of pity.
09:11They spend the whole night together, but do nothing more than sleep on the couch.
09:15That morning, Mark returns home, where a crowd of people is waiting for him,
09:20since everyone wants to know more details about what is behind the death, causing a real commotion.
09:27That's why Anna decides to call him and goes to visit him with the intention of finding out what he said.
09:33Then he confesses his story to her, and she manages to convince him to tell everyone the same thing,
09:40since this is something that would make them happy.
09:42But before doing so, Mark decides to write for a few hours.
09:47Afterwards, he goes out to the garden to describe the way people go to a beautiful place when they die,
09:53full of hope and many things that would make them feel happy.
09:56All of this sounds very nice, so some begin to have doubts, and he tries to answer them quickly,
10:03clarifying that all this is controlled by a man in the sky.
10:08He also includes that when people die, there will be free ice cream for everyone.
10:13It is explained that everyone has only three chances to do bad things in life before missing out on this,
10:20and that the man in the sky decides who lives and who dies, but also all the good things.
10:26From then on, the media begins to talk about this situation.
10:31Mark becomes the man of the year, and not only premieres his movie,
10:35but also continues writing successful new scripts.
10:39He also manages to buy a mansion, sign many autographs,
10:43and in this process becomes very close to Anna, who accompanies him in each of his new achievements.
10:49All this gives him enough confidence to tell her that couples should look beyond simply physical appearance.
10:56Then he begins to describe each of the qualities he loves about her, making her feel happy.
11:03When it is Anna's turn, the girl highlights her big nose,
11:07but also her kindness and vision of the world that has captivated her.
11:12That's why she confesses that she loves him, leaving him totally astonished,
11:17although she still cannot be with him because she continues to doubt his genetics.
11:21Another day, we see that outside his mansion, there are still people camping
11:27because they're waiting for more information about the afterlife.
11:31Meanwhile, Mark is writing the new script together with an assistant,
11:35and that's when Anna appears to greet him.
11:38She gives him a gift hidden inside an envelope
11:41and tells him that tonight she has a date with his rival, Brad.
11:45Immediately, Brad tries to discredit him to convince her not to be delicious with him
11:52because this should only be with the person she is going to marry.
11:55Then Mark opens the gift envelope, which turns out to be a coupon to have some delicious time with her,
12:02but now he won't be able to use it because her speech has convinced him
12:05and they are not married either.
12:07Minutes later, Brad shows up, practically proposing to her on the spot
12:12so he can redeem the coupon, and she blushes, making our protagonist end up upset.
12:18During the date, the evil screenwriter controls every detail,
12:22manages to get rid of his annoying mother,
12:24and always speaks badly of Mark to convince her that he is the perfect man
12:29due to his looks and economic status.
12:32Days later, Mark begins to feel depressed
12:34since despite all his success,
12:37he is still the same lonely and miserable man from the beginning of the movie.
12:41On top of that, the loss of his father makes him miss her even more.
12:46To make things worse, Anna goes to visit him
12:49because the next day, her wedding with Brad will take place
12:52and she wants to invite him since it is the most important event of her life.
12:56But he only begins to beg her not to do it.
13:00The girl replies that she must go through with it
13:02because it is part of her genetic purpose.
13:04Her dream is to have beautiful children before becoming an ugly old woman,
13:09and she leaves without having changed her mind.
13:13Later, our protagonist's best friend convinces him to attend the ceremony
13:17since this is something that would make the girl happy,
13:20but right then when they ask if anyone wants to oppose the wedding,
13:24we hear Mark speak.
13:26Our protagonist takes this opportunity to tell her again
13:29that he loves her and that their children can be better than the kids she plans to have with Brad.
13:35He also asks her to analyze what she really wants for her life.
13:39Upon hearing this, Anna asks him to please tell her what the man in the sky wants for them
13:45since her decision depends on it.
13:47But surprisingly, Mark decides not to make use of his ability
13:51and prefers to leave the church.
13:53A few minutes later, Anna comes out after him to insist
13:57and that's when he decides to tell her the whole truth,
14:00revealing that all the sayings about the afterlife are false
14:03and he only wanted his mother to die happy and without fear.
14:07Then the girl replies that she has decided she wants to have chubby children with ugly noses
14:13and this way they end up together.
14:16Years later, they are married and have a son identical to his mother
14:20who also has the ability to lie to make his mother happy
14:23by saying that her food tastes good, even though it actually looks disgusting.
