other title: 天啊,洛佩斯 / 마지막 레이싱
Jesús is a young amateur car racing driver. One morning he dies in a motorbike accident and the town where he lives is deeply shaken. His cousin Abel, a few years younger, works on the farm with his family. He is at the end of his adolescent years and doesn’t know who he is or what will become of his life. Jesús’ parents invite Abel to stay with them for a few days, and the boy accepts, partly out of respect and partly because he wants out of his own home. Abel gradually distances himself from the farm and starts to become a substitute for Jesús for his family and friends. However, the transformation darkens and the person reincarnated is Jesús, who comes back to reclaim his place. Presented in Proyecta in 2018.
