Alex acaba de salir de la cárcel. Al salir se encuentra con un viejo amigo, la tumba de su madre, un nuevo hermano y un camión con cargamento clandestino en el que viajar por el desierto. El trayecto que recorren juntos les hará entender la “falta que nos hacemos”.
A young convict released for two days, the little brother he’s just found out about, a neurotic friend and an ex-prostitute; four orphans, losers, anti-heroes all in a beat-up old truck travelling along the torrid roads of the lower Aragon region in Spain. A recurring theme links the characters milling around Tilt; they are orphans and some of them in more ways than one. This idea has suffused the whole project; Tilt is a rootless film, an orphan. Even so it never strays from a certain point between irony and sly sarcasm as if it were laughing at its own bad luck.
