Leonardo, a successful industrial designer, lives with his family in an architectural wonder, a mid-century modern Le Corbusier home. One morning, he wakes to the noise of a sledgehammer and is appalled to discover that workers next door are constructing a large window that faces directly into his house. The free-spirited neighbour, Victor, is very friendly, yet obstinate at the same time as he refuses to bend to Leonardo’s demands. This minor incident starts to take over Leonardo’s time, taking him away from his work and family and calling into question all his bourgeois illusions of power.
When it comes to style, these two have it down pat.. zimbio

Victor, el vecino, es un personaje raro y extrovertido. Su actitud extremadamente amistosa y a la vez amenazante crean en Leonardo un fuerte rechazo y a la vez una sumisión inmanejable. el incidente comienza a ocuparle a Leonardo todo su tiempo e interés, apartándolo de su rutina laboral y familiar, cuestionando con énfasis sus ilusiones de poder elitista.
