Kill the Jockey

Kill the Jockey

Once-renowned jockey Remo Manfredi (BPM star Nahuel Perez Biscayart) has run out of track. Perpetually inebriated and in hock to a mafioso, Remo seems to have a death wish. His girlfriend and fellow jockey Abril (Ursula Corbero) is pregnant, but more invested in the libidinous equestrian underworld than in their drab domestic existence. Remo's only hope of getting out of debt and starting a new life is riding on Mishima, a thoroughbred specially imported from Japan for his next big race. When Mishima leaps over the fence, Remo winds up in the hospital with a life-threatening concussion. Hunted by the mob and replaced in Abril's bed by the alluring Ana (Mariana Di Girolamo), Remo dons a disguise and finds himself as herself, wandering the streets of Buenos Aires in a striking mink coat and going by the name Dolores. A wild and surreal crime comedy from Luis Ortega, the acclaimed director behind El Angel, Kill the Jockey explores the fluidity of identity, desire and animal magnetism in a wholly original and unpredictable register.
