Things get worse when Olivia starts to receive an increasing number of harassing phone calls. She has been mistaken for Lorena Ruiz, a woman with many debts whose creditors will not believe they have got the wrong person. The harassment continues, and the case of mistaken identity becomes a living Kafkaesque nightmare for Olivia as she searches for the mysterious Lorena Ruiz.
Director Isidora Marras was inspired by a case of mistaken identity that she herself suffered. The film is the portrait of a bureaucratic and dehumanised system where people are no more than consumers.[http://www.sanfic.com/pelicula/no-soy-lorena/ SANFIC] SANFIC 10th - 2014, retrieved in December 16, 2014
