During the four hours that pass while waiting for the moving truck to pick up his things, painter Jorge Diaz replays his life up until that moment, imitating since he was a child, even in the smallest details, his countryman Pablo Picasso. This obsessive need to mimic his idol has led him into pathetic, though ocasionally amusing, situations. In many aspects, Jorge is very different from the genius artist; first of all, he doesn't have very much talent, and he's a reserved, naive individual. He also lacks the practical smarts to get by in the art world. His life continues to become more and more difficult, mainly when he tries to imitate Picasso in not only his painting style, but also his emotional relationships and most private habits. However, this unhealthy submission to his master comes crashing down when he falls in love with Carmen, a mature woman who is in a wheelchair because of a car accident. Fate has a surprise waiting for Jorge that will change his life forever.
