Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Spain's 2010s revenge-thriller wave exploring economic anxiety through masculine breakdown, alongside films like El Desconocido.
Vivas deliberately avoided showing the actual robbery, forcing us to experience violence only through Jaime's traumatic imagination — making his revenge feel doubly hollow.
