Whisky is a 2004 Uruguayan film directed by Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll. The story revolves around Jacobo, a middle-aged and introverted man who owns a failing sock factory.

When Jacobo's long-lost brother, Herman, suddenly reappears after many years, Jacobo becomes desperate to prove that he has made something out of his life. In an attempt to impress his brother, Jacobo comes up with an idea to pretend he is happily married. He believes that presenting his life as successful and fulfilling will overshadow his actual failures.

Jacobo turns to Marta, an employee at his sock factory, to be his pretend wife. Marta and Jacobo have a complicated and strained relationship, as they often clash with each other. Marta reluctantly agrees to be his partner in this deception, seemingly with a secret agenda of her own.

As Jacobo and Marta go about their charade, tensions rise between them and they begin to question their own lives as well as the motivation behind their actions. The boundaries of their pretend relationship become blurred, leading to unexpected emotions and revelations.

Whisky explores themes of loneliness, deception, and the desire to be accepted and acknowledged by others. It delves into the complexities of human relationships, showing how people often mask their true selves in an attempt to conform to societal expectations.

As the plot unfolds, Jacobo's deception begins to crumble, and he is forced to confront the reality of his choices and the consequences they have on his life. The film ultimately raises questions about identity, self-worth, and the search for meaning in one's existence.

Whisky is a subtle and introspective film that highlights the melancholy and humor in everyday life, while also offering a poignant commentary on human nature and the universal need for connection.
