At the end of an ordinary day, Felipe finds himself overwhelmed by his fear of fatherhood. Without warning, he walks out on his – pregnant, almost due – partner and embarks on a journey through his fantasies.
Felipe and Manuela are going to be parents for the first time. They feel odd, everything is new and they are not sure of anything. Felipe, gripped by fear, leaves home and hides in a bedroom community at about thirty kilometers from the capital city, embarking on a journey immersed in his fantasies and fears. Through several stories that take place in different times, Felipe faces an imaginary family, his real family and the memory of Manuela. The characters in each story resemble ghosts, as the moment of his son’s birth quickly approaches. „Las muertes pasajeras“ is the portrait of confusion, an irrational look at the fear of becoming a father.
