Failing to remember events after a drunken night and awakening in an unknown bed with blackmailer Natalia, cop Javier goes through his own personal hell as he becomes the prime suspect behind the killing of a young homosexual man, meeting up with the deceased's lame and resentful sister Alicia.[1][2][3]
The film is a BocaBoca production.[3] It was shot in the Summer of 2000.[5]
Distributed by Columbia TriStar Spain,[1] the film was released theatrically in Spain on 14 June 2002.[2]
Casimiro Torreiro of El País deemed the film to be "a more than stimulating first work", "with an inspiration that is not abundant in the scripts of criminal films [in Spanish cinema], actors adjusted to their rather thankless roles and a plot that locks its protagonist in a suffocating incriminating circle".[4]
Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be "efficient and well-played, with sharp and silly plot twists in equal measure", but featuring "little else to generate enthusiasm in what is basically another riff on the battered cop theme".[1]
