Brief Explanation

A young Mexican man has just been pulled over to the side of the road by a cop. As the cop approaches his car, the Mexican looks uneasy. It is a tense situation as the stern-looking cop inspects the car and asks for the man’s license and registration. However, when the cop discovers that the young man is from Mexico, he does something totally unexpected. He starts to tell an incredible passionate story about a beautiful girl, Isabella and her father the great Al Carlino who objected to her love affair. As the cop tells the story, he gets really emotional – leaving the young Mexican man dumbfounded and unsure of what to do. The film ends with: “Everyone Has A Story. Tell Yours.” – encouraging aspiring filmmakers in the UAE to take part in the Samsung Short Film Contest.
