Your dead friend left you millions—but only if you destroy your best friends first. Game on.
The strong friendship between three friends is to be tested at the moment they learn that an old childhood companion has died and has left them his entire estate. To get it they must participate in a pre-planned wager devised by the deceased. This results in a mad spiral of competitiveness that will make the lives of the protagonists transformed forever.
Acting
Alterio and Martín's escalating pettiness is deliciously uncomfortable.
Writing
The wager's rules unfold like a social experiment designed by a sociologist.
Director
Borja Manso
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of post-2008 Spanish films exploring economic desperation disguised as comedy—think 'Toc Toc' or 'Ocho apellidos vascos' but meaner.
Manso and Cabotá shot the escalating wager scenes in chronological order so the actors' genuine fatigue and irritation would bleed into performances.
