Proyecto Fantasma

While dreaming of starring in a film, the young recently graduated actor Pablo works as a simulated patient for medical students. Once he finally manages to get rid of his non-paying roommate, Pablo is left with a dog, a collection of plants and a dire lack of funds. Simply put, he is facing adult responsibilities for the first time in his life.

Roaming through Ñuñoa, a characteristic Santiago district, Proyecto Fantasma maps the social network surrounding Pablo. Next to his parents, former fellow students and an ex with whom he is secretly still in love, his inner circle includes a couple of vloggers plus an alleged house ghost, whose origins are a fine subject for speculation. In a light-hearted way, the slacker genre from the 1990s is updated for a new generation, including as a typical subplot getting to know one of the neighbours through YouTube.
