Un giovane regista torna in Venezuela, ispirato a realizzare un film basato sulla vita di suo padre nella giungla amazzonica. Chiama il padre per interpretare sé stesso, finzione e realtà si scontrano. Quello che inizia come un atto di amore e ambizione si trasforma in un processo che affronta le lotte del padre con la dipendenza e la vita priva di suo figlio. EL FATHER PLAYS HIMSELF mantiene un obiettivo fisso nei modi in cui il cinema riesce a portare alla luce, legare, guarire e distruggere.
