User Reviews

Entertains

A Spanish thriller. It is about a paramedic who lives with his girl trying to be parents and how he spends his time working until an accident makes his life change and the biggest of his dreams, which is to have a child, is frustrated. Entertaining Quality. Predictable like all of its kind. Mario Casas is unrecognizable and spectacular in this interpretation. Sometimes the language is run over and that makes some moments not understood. The character's psychology and motivations are very clear and bearable. The few successful sexual and violent scenes. It's about how we handle frustration of all kinds. An extraordinary option if you are a fan of thriller and Spanish cinema.
