        Suspenseful and strange short movie with an awesome interpretation
        A man walks with his child and then he gets trapped at a phone booth while some outlookers attempt unsuccessfully to free him. After that , some operatives from the telephone company have in store for him by transporting on a truck throughout Madrid capital, along the way he is taunted and mocked by the people who observe him. Later on, the imprisoned person suffering puzzlement and horror as he arrives in a large facilty where he discovers extraordinary surprises until a creepy finale.

        Splendid and succint Short with a great acting by Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez. This is an astonishing, shocking, and amazing film, almost surrealist, containing some weird images and eerie happenings. It is sad as well as poetic when some some clowns watching pitily the desperado protagonist. It packs interesting, twisted and bizarre script from the prestigious Jose Luis Garci and Mercero himself. There stands out the awesome acting from Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez who gives a terrific role. And including various brief appearances by notorious Spanish secondaries as Agustin Gonzalez, Goyo Lebrero, Maria Vico , Blaki and Tito Garcia.

        It provides an evocative and atmospheric cinematography by Federico G Larraya, who photographed For a fustful of dollars by Sergio Leone. As well as frightening and thrilling musical score, addiing religious chores. Well produced by Jose Salcedo and nicely directed by recently deceased Antonio Mercero who made several TV Series as Cronicas de un pueblo, Ese señor de negro, Turno de Oficio, Manolito Gafotas and films as Las delicias de los verdes años, Don Juan mi querido fantasma, Esperame en el cielo, Planta 4, Hora de los valientes, El tesoro, Y tu quien eres, being his greatests hits , La guerra de papa, Toby and the Series Verano Azul with Antonio Ferrandis as the unforgettable Chanquete. Rating 8/10 above average.
