The colonel (Alterio), begins to stalk his former lover, Angela (Chaplin) as he suspects her of political involvement in an anti-government group. Surrealist elements become apparent as the Colonel fuses his memories of Angela with his suspicions to create fantasy scenarios of capturing the elusive actress.[1]
The New York Times described the film as "intriguing", and that Castilla "combines surrealism and high comedy in a visionary style that with its echoes of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Luis Bunuel seems quintessentially Latin American in spirit."[1]
