La maniobra de Heimlich (HDRip)

Writer Alex Pareja (Jacob Torres)'s book, The Heimlich Maneuver, describes the events around his girlfriend's death by choking. It's a success, as it breaks all the conventions to reflect auto-fiction in a non-linear way. Ten years later, Pareja is filming a movie adaptation that, he insists, must also reflect reality, transcending traditionalism of scripts. Due to this, a camera and small team will follow Alex and film anything in his life; Alex insists he must be true to the camera. The movie is a mockumentary with interspersed interviews to real-life artists (playing themselves), while Pareja works on the film and in the process wrecks his own life: He hires video-clip director Manolo Vazquez (played by Miki Esparbe; but Vazquez is the director of the real movie), who in turn recruits star Jordi Vilches (as himself) to play Alex in re-enactments. But Alex is not happy with Vilches' performance, style or public appearances - Vilches is a troublemaker. Alex ends up a 6-year relationship with his performance artist girlfriend Lavinia (Alba Yanex) to try and woo the star actress of his movie, Marta Torne (as herself), who then rejects him. The city councilor Venturi (Blanca Martinez), who is also Alex's dead girlfriend's mother, is totally unhappy with the project and tries to hinder it, and Alex's contact in the government, failed snobbish artist Larra (Albert Ribalta), cannot or will not help him. Unexperienced in movie business, Alex attempts to work on the set, but is disdained by his team, and also harshly criticized by the authors in the interviews. Against the ropes, Alex accepts Vazquez's offer: Vazquez can do post-production with whatever material they have filmed. Vazquez asks to be credited as the director. Six months later, on a bar, Vazquez watches the TV ceremony of Goya awards, where The Heimlich Manuever was successful with at least three statues. However, the movie direction was credited to Alex, who by then is dating Marta. Sad, Vazquez drinks his cup, eats the olive... and starts choking. Cut to credits.
