"By the Soles of Our Feet" is an adventure set in a surreal world where not only time, but also people, are constantly marching on, unable to stop or turn back as they go. Along with the surreal, the journey collides with life's everyday realities of fear, greed and hate - while still making room for bravery, compassion and love. And, just as we do, the people in this world eventually question where they are going. And, more importantly, why. This is Pepe's dilemma. Always convinced he was put on this earth to avenge his father's murder, Pepe's been searching for the killer ever since he could walk. But after more than 20 years, he's not a step closer to fulfilling his heroic destiny so he accepts suicide as his fate. Bucco, his faithful, right-hand man, is terrified of the possibility of having to walk through life alone, so he convinces Pepe to rewrite his reason for existing and proposes they go in search of a new, and even more glorious destiny. Pepe reluctantly accepts and, with the help of Bucco, he tries to find a purpose through several adventures, each one marked by a different movie genre, such as the romantic comedy, melodrama, documentary, horror and film noir, affecting the tone and visual style of the story. "By the Soles of Our Feet" was created as a farce with a brain, a mockery of the "Hero's Journey," and an excuse to laugh at the expense of such serious notions as immortality and destiny. It's a philosophical road-trip that delights the audience with unexpected twists, turns and bumps along the way.
