Synopsis

'The heimlich maneuver' tells the story of the eccentric writer Álex Pareja. He´s the author of the book of the same title as the film, and he is already considered one of the best writers of his generation. When it´s decided that a movie based on the book would be made, it is asked to him to direct it. As a fake documentary, with lots of humor and ridiculousness, the film tells the odyssey that the author would have to go through in order to make the adaptation. It doesn´t take long till the problems bury Álex, when the actor thought to be him turns out to have a completely different character to his. On the other hand, a lot of misunderstanding and conflicts would threaten the relantionship with his girlfriend, the performance artist Lavinia G, when a incipient love story starts to grow between the author and the actress Marta Torné.
