Alfonso

2013 | Drama, Comedy | 18.5 min | BA Film

Directed by Jan-Eric Mack

Collection: Degree Films 2013

Alfonso is a stage hypnotist, gruff and shrewd. He will once again show off his skills at a local talent show. The winner will get the heart of the lower middle class, as well as a generous prize money. When the show routine gets out of control, the only safe way out seems to be a stylish retreat.
