A Man Aside is Ricardo Liaño, a Spanish immigrant settled in Chile who was boxing promoter, show business producer and creator of a number of muddy businesses. Old sponger and talker and now an octogenarian and a poor man, Liaño wanders around with the obssesion of still being a winner and that for the third time in his life he will be a millionaire “in dollars”. Through a singular mix of tragedy and comedy, this film is a portrait of the progressive darkening of a mind.
