  • All the stories that we listen and see live in us.Walter Benjamin, in his essay The Narrator, says how the experience of the teller is essential to storytelling. Bythis view, the narrator would be both the one that tells from his own place and the one that came back from hisexperiences abroad. Therefore, what is known and what is exotic are together in the different speeches of the teller.The stories that we hear seem to originate far away, but they can actually be very close in the ways of speech, in theexperience that it brings, in the own material presence of the teller. Plots that seem absurd can present themselvesvery near to us.That is what happens to Roberto, the character in Sebastián Borensztein’s movie, Chinese Take-Away. A storeowner that is very disenchanted with the world, he finds himself with the help of the stories in the newspaper. Whilethey are weird and had come from distant places, the absurdity of those strangers’ lives’ stories he can perceive aworld that seems impossible to understand.Impossible... until one of these stories seats at his table.Fictional narrative, literature, distance, spaces are brought to us by the moving and sounding images of this movie.The narrative in it tells about itself. From this film and with the ideas presented by Benjamin, this work brings theimportance of fictional narratives in our daily life and how we see the world.
