Ismael (Karra Elejalde, Timecrimes) breaks into the house of a fine art restorer and shoots the homeowner dead, leaving her daughter orphaned and traumatized for life. Years later lsmael is working in a bar where he sees the daughter again. Paranoid that she has recognised him and wilI report him, he kidnaps her and hoIds her hostage, demanding that her hospital pay a ransom for her reIease. As he spends more time with her a strange bond deveIops that causes him to delay the ransom request or fuIfil his threats of throwing her in front of a train. But he can’t deIay forever... A gothic thriIler with pitch-black humour that recalIs the Coen brothers, Juanma Bajo Ulloa’s sophomore feature won a host of prestigious internationaI awards and was a precursor to the Spanish genre explosion.
