About This Movie

Historias Breves 0: Rubén, el Murciélago is a quirky gem from Fernando Díaz that blends comedy with a touch of absurdity. The film follows Ruben, a bodybuilder whose dedication to his physique overshadows everything else in his life, including the search for a job. What's fascinating here is the portrayal of Ruben's unwavering belief in himself, almost as if he's a superhero in his own right. The pacing has this relaxed rhythm, allowing the viewer to really soak in the offbeat humor and the eccentric characters that populate his world. Performances are genuine, and the practical effects – though not elaborate – add to the film's charm. It’s a unique exploration of self-identity and the lengths one might go to in pursuit of their ideal self.
