Optical Illusions (Spanish: Ilusiones ópticas) is a 2009 Chilean-Portuguese-French comedy-drama film directed by Cristián Jiménez (in his directorial debut) and written by Jiménez & Alicia Scherson.[1]
The film tells three interwoven stories with irony and black humor. They include a mall security guard who falls in love with an elegant thief, an efficient office worker sent to a training workshop for the unemployed by his company, and a blind skier who regains his sight and becomes suddenly terrified of the city. These three men are immersed in circumstances and desires that they don't fully comprehend.
