REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., March 5, 2002

A filmmaker revisits his past after the premiere of his autobiographical film. His memories of the apartment he shared as a frustrated teenager flood the screen. The confines of the apartment contrast with the expansiveness of his memories. The film is based on a novel by Emilio Carballido.
