The Man Who Shook the Hand of Vicente Fernandez

In a stunning twist of fate, Ernest Borgnine's final role becomes an unlikely ticket to fame, as he navigates life in a nursing home staffed by Latin American immigrants who treat him like the celebrity he's always dreamed of being. Rex Page, the retired radio disc jockey/actor, has spent his life without recognition, but after shaking hands with the Mexican singer Vicente Fernandez, his story takes on new meaning. This offbeat Western comedy-drama finds humor in the unexpected reverence accorded to its protagonist and explores themes of regret, celebrity, and the power of a single handshake to change one's life forever.
