BORGES AND I is a facetious commentary on the relentless recording and sharing of our lives in the wake of the user-generated-content generation.
Through the use of a secret camera, an out-of-work actor tries to uncover the reasons behind his failing career and takes on an experiment to find out if it is possible to control how others perceive him.
