Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Armero specializes in Spanish middle-class malaise; this captures the post-2008 crisis tension between Madrid creatives and their provincial origins.
Arévalo and Cuesta reunited after starring together in 'The Bride,' though their dynamic here deliberately inverts that film's passionate romance into marital exhaustion.
