Por Las Plumas (English title: "All About the Feathers") is a black comedy, released on September 6, 2013. It tells the story of Chalo, a lone security guard who acquires his first gamecock, but instead is unconsciously seeking a companion and discovers the bittersweet taste of friendship.

Plot

It is a comedy that tells the story of Chalo a lone security guard who wants a fighting cock. Once you get it, your life changes. Not having a good place to raise him and train him, a series of comic situations that will test the passion and love of Chalo by his new "friend" are triggered.After buying a fighting cock called Rocky, bored security guard Chalo gets mixed up in absurd but also awkward situations.

The cock's crowing is not appreciated at home, but even at a deserted industrial terrain problems arise. Cock fighting is an illegal but extremely popular pastime amongst Costa Rica's working class, and Chalo and his constant companion Rocky make new friends and allies all over.

With deadpan humour, “All About the Feathers” moves at a cracking pace as Chalo’s monotonous life grows increasingly colourful. It’s a polished and humorous look at regular folks trying to survive life today. The movie shows the romance of a security guard with a rooster and how working class people can support and build friendships in this civilized world by accepting each other for who we are.

Development
