Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ricardo Darín and Javier Cámara had never worked together before—Cesc Gay cast them specifically to capture fresh friendship tension that matures on screen.
The film dominated Spain's 2016 Goya Awards, winning Best Film, Director, Actor (Darín), and Supporting Actor (Cámara)—a rare sweep for a quiet two-hander about dying.
