Modelo: What's your name?
Mateo Blanco: Harry Caine.
[voiceover]
Mateo Blanco: I used to be called Mateo and I was a film director. I was always tempted by the idea of being someone else, as well as myself. Living one's life wasn't enough, so I invented a pseudonym, Harry Caine, an adventurer who, as fate would have it, became a writer. I had him sign all the scripts and stories I wrote. For years, Mateo Blanco and Harry Caine shared the same body, mine. But a moment came when suddenly I could only be Harry Caine. I became my pseudonym. A self-made writer made by himself. There was just one unforseen detail. Harry Caine would be a blind writer.

Ray X: That's what we've got re-edited.
Mateo Blanco: Do you think it's worth carrying on, or is it crazy?
Diego: What? I pissed myself laughing. I'm dying to see what happens.
Judit García: It's wonderful, Mateo!
Diego: It's hilarious. You have to re-release it.
Mateo Blanco: No, what matters is to finish it. Films have to be finished, even if you do it blindly.
