Trailer for A Mysterious World, which screened at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Ana tells Boris, "I need time." Boris is confused. Time? A period of separation? What does Ana mean? Does 'time' mean a week, a month, a year, or ten years? All at once, Boris is alone. Things are pretty tough for Boris whose problems begin the moment he tries to organise his everyday life. Boris knows that planning, organisation and appointments are as important as taking one's relationship seriously – but how on earth is he to manage all that? Boris decides to buy his first car. His baby blue second-hand Romanian-built car is a dead ringer for a Renault 6. In fact, rather like the car’s owner, it’s somewhat conspicuous at first glance, but perfectly normal underneath. After a while and on closer inspection however, characteristics begin to emerge that nobody would have suspected; traits that could make it difficult to envisage a harmonious life together. Boris starts meeting people. A classmate introduces him to a circle of friends that end up confusing him. But then, Boris is invited to Uruguay to spend New Year’s Eve with friends in Montevideo. He climbs into his blue Tokha and sets off, but when he arrives in Montevideo there’s nobody at home, and when he calls all he gets is an answering machine message. Rodrigo Moreno’s Un Mundo Misterioso tells the story of a likable oddball moving through a paralysed society threatened by economic ruin.
