17 December 2011
In Madrid, the editor of the magazine Ziber-Arte, Alex Cuevas (Leonardo Sbaraglia), is invited by Beatriz Bravo (Laia Marull) to participate in a conference about interpretation of dreams.

After the lecture, the participant Natalia Hidalgo (Angie Cepeda) from Barcelona questions the lecturer about the meaning of her dreams with monoliths and symbols, believing that they are premonitions. Natalia is obsessed with her dreams and she tells them to the audience and immediately after, Beatriz faints. Alex feels attracted by the sexy Natalia and she gives her phone to him, since he is preparing a matter about dreams. Then he gives a ride to Beatriz to her home.

Fifteen days later, Beatriz calls Alex asking the phone number of Natalia. Alex promises to deliver her number to Beatriz, but he dates Natalia and forgets to meet Beatriz. However, Natalia asks him to meet Beatriz and she shows a tattoo that she made two years ago in Mexico with the symbols that Angelica mentioned in the lecture. Angelica feels that Beatriz is connected to her and might have the answer to her dreams, and her obsession increases. However, Beatriz goes to a tattoo artist in Madrid and shows that her tattoo is bleeding and he tells that it is normal in a tattoo with fifteen days only. Beatriz continues with her games affecting Angelica's obsession and her relationship with Alex.

The unknown "Oculto" is a sexy and engaging thriller with a good screenplay that combines drama, thriller and eroticism and supported by great performances of the trio of lead cast. The plot shows very soon that Beatriz is a liar but her secret is disclosed little by little, keeping a final surprise in the very end. But who makes this film work is the gorgeous and sexy Angie Cepeda, one of the hottest actresses that I have recently seen. And the best, she is an excellent actress! In the end, "Oculto" was a great surprise. My vote is seven.
