This is a thriller drama in which when a series of threats and attempts on people's lives happen, a teen is protected by a good guy. From now on, everything becomes complicated, as betrayal , twists, and violence generates more violence. An acceptable thriller with elements of film Noir , suspense, violence and a little bit of action.The picture is plenty of twists and turns, as friends result out not to be What they seemed to be, and there are lots of surprises and unexpectable consequences. The movie relies heavily on the enjoyable love story between the mature man well played by Eduardo Fernandez and the beautiful teen finely performed by Silvia Abascal. Support cast is frankly excellent such as Imanol Arias, Pepe oliva ,Manuel de Blas, Ana Otero , ,Aitor Mazo , Alicia Agut and special mention for Joaquin Almeida as the cunning entrepreneur of Portuguese origin engaged in dark business.
Stirring and adequate musical score by Roque Baños . Colorful and Atmospheric cinematography by Javier Salmones , showing the urban city of Bilbao and surroundings of the eighties, when this town was really sad as well as abandoned. The motion picture was well directed by Emilio Martínez Lázaro . Emilio is a fine director who has made some nice dramas as 13 Rosas, Carreteras Secundarias, Lulu De Noche , Palabras de Max . But he is especially expert on comedies as El juego más divertido, Amo Tu cama rica, El otro lado de la cama, los 2 lados de las cama and his greatest hits : ocho apellidos vascos, and ocho apellidos catalanes. Rating 7. Well worth seeing.
