About Apaga... y vámonos
A somewhat confused and strange young inventor, named Gustavo, is arrested by the police accused of being a terrorist. Through his statements we will know the truth of the facts. During his childhood he discovers that his father wants to escape to a place called Vesta aboard a spaceship made by himself. However, during the journey he loses his life. Now thirty years old, Gustavo, after a series of events, will try to repeat his father's journey.
Directed by Antonio Hernández, Apaga... y vámonos leans on a strong ensemble — Virginia Mataix, Antonio Hernández, Chema Muñoz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1981.
