El Jockey brings us closer to a disruptive, frenetic, dreamlike, and at the same time profoundly real form of cinema, something rarely found on commercial screens. Remo Manfredi, played by Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, the jockey and main character, faces an existential crisis regarding his career as a professional rider. After countless victories, trophies, and exorbitant earnings for his superiors or bosses, a true mafia-like and aristocratic refuge of the elite within the world of jockeying and gambling, the only way he feels capable of continuing in that environment is through the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol. In other words, by covering up his anguish. His refuge from this depression and from the exhaustion of a monotonous, material life is his girlfriend, another jockey named Abril, played by Úrsula Corberó, who has a promising future ahead of her and whom Remo loves deeply.
