Storyline

Adrián, a talented orchestra conductor, receives a video message from his beloved Belén, telling him with tears in her eyes that she is leaving him, and that she cannot carry on with him anymore. Shattered by the unexpected news of their irreversible break-up and puzzled by Belén's inexplicable decision, Adrián gets help from the local police to solve this mysterious case of disappearance; however, as there is still no news of Belén, a new woman will appear in his life. In the end, with no progress at all in Belén's baffling case, who would think to look beyond the facts, as truth often lies hidden in the most unusual of places?

User Reviews

A very interesting- non preventable plot!

When the film began, I was quite sure I was about to watch another conventional horror story, about a haunted house and all the rest...I could not imagine it would evolve to such an interesting plot. Indisputably, one of the most interesting thrillers I have watched, as it was so difficult to guess what would finally happen. Also, the film is so thrilling that it keeps you watching very carefully! Additionally, it makes your mind work and try to imagine who is finally responsible... Indeed, I recommend this movie without any hesitation and I give it 10 out of 10! I believe it is a top movie for the last 5 years at least- must watch!
