Soon out of money and luck,he is forced into yet more deceit - with devastating consequences for those he has fooled.Lost, drunk and lurching across rural Venezuela, Christmas reaches the point of breakdown.He wakes up in a village at the end of the world.He is hanging by one leg from a tree. Inspired by the mighty Lola Rosa,he tries to crawl out of his spiritual abyss and find a way to live amongst these fishermen and farmers - but love isn't easy when you are a career liar still married to the dead.
