“While struggling to have courage to jump off from a bridge to commit suicide, the musician Jota (Nancho Novo) that misses his girlfriend witnesses an accident with a motorcycle, with the rider falling down on the beach. Jota helps the unknown woman that has amnesia and goes in the ambulance with her to the hospital. Jota invents her name, calling her Lisa (Emma Suárez), and also that they have been living together for four years in his apartment nearby the beach. On the next morning, Jota visits Lisa, who is in session with the psychologist; then he leaves the hospital with her telling that she was discharged. Jota reinvents Lisau0026#39;s past and travels with her to the camping u0026quot;La Ardilla Rojau0026quot;, where they befriend the family of a taxi driver. When a stranger comes to the camping claiming that Lisau0026#39;s name is Sophia indeed and that he is her husband, Jota feels trapped in his lies and questions whether Sophia has had amnesia.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;La Ardilla Rojau0026quot; is a weird and entertaining love story, with an original and surrealistic screenplay and bizarre characters and situations. The gorgeous Emma Suárez has a stunning performance and shows a great chemistry with the odd and unusual Jota, performed by Nancho Novo. The climax with the arrival of Felix to the camp site is strange and a little disappointing, but the happy end fits well to the plot. My vote is seven.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;O Esquilo Vermelhou0026quot; (u0026quot;The Red Squirrelu0026quot;)”
