Paralyzed from the waist down by a stray police bullet, the title character of the film spends his days selling minutes on his cell phone, flirting with his comely neighbor — and secretly plotting his revenge. A tale that joins the most intimate details of Porfirio’s day-to-day life with an astonishing recreation of his attempt to hijack an airplane.
