"Peluca" follows its main character, Seth, as he skips school with two of his friends to buy a
fanny pack and a wig (the film's title is a Spanish word meaning "wig"). The Seth character was later adapted intoNapoleon Dynamite for the full-length film of the same name. Both were played byJon Heder .The character that later becomes Pedro Sanchez in "Napoleon Dynamite" is named Giel in "Peluca". The plot of "Peluca" is vaguely similar to that of its successor, and features some of the same camera shots as "Napoleon Dynamite". For example, in the beginning of both films, Heder stands outside waiting for a bus.
The film is almost nine minutes long and was shot on
black-and-white 16mm film . It is included on the "Napoleon Dynamite" Special EditionDVD .External links
