In the new film “Official Competition,” a rich Spanish businessman who yearns to leave “something that lasts” decides that he will finance a movie.
At the start of “Official Competition,” we meet a rich Spanish businessman named Humberto Suárez . Now eighty years old, he yearns to leave “something that lasts” and decides that, rather than build a bridge, he will finance a movie—a curious choice, given that most movies are about as enduring as a sandcastle, but still.

To be exact, he cannot return, for he has forgotten where he lives. A nameless disease, spreading like knotweed through the public, is causing instantaneous amnesia. Aris, bereft of I.D., is sent to the hospital, where he fails various tests; the one sure thing that links him to his former life is a taste for apples.
