And then he lands a job at a tech company and meets some of the strangest people in his life!
The movie is all set to release on May 20, 2020. But before you catch the wild ride of Omar and his colleagues, let's find out more.
Featuring in the leading role of Omar Buendia is actor Gustavo Egelhaaf. He is the leading character of the story around whom the entire movie revolves.
