A man uncovers a mystery involving someone a lot like himself in this suspense thriller from Spain. Hans (Alex Brendemuehl) is a German émigré who has come to Spain in search of honest work and a new life. Hans is given a job by Tanca (Heinz Hoenig), a fellow German who is looking for a caretaker for his estate, and Hans goes out of his way to make friendships with the locals. Hans learns that Tanca previously employed a caretaker named Hans who disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and aged Miquelet (Rafel Ramis) seems convinced Hans's namesake will be returning soon. Curious Hans wants to know more about his predecessor, and discovers he was having a clandestine affair with Catalina (Marga Grimalt), who tended bar at a local saloon. However, so far as Hans can tell a broken relationship is not what drove the handyman away, and he begins to suspect something sinister is afoot, though no one will speak specifically about what became of Hans, especially not Tanca. Yo (aka Me) was the first feature film from director Rafa Cortes.
