Then thing go wrong and the family -being completely dejected, defeated and nervous- plan the killing of the abusive husband. Based on a real crime : the famous murder of ¨Dulce Neus¨.
Dramatic film dealing with a tyrant father who mistreats his wife and children . This is a downbeat drama/thriller far from ordinary , concerning sexual abuse , obsession , as mother and kids suffering twisted happenings , but things go awry and it results in a grisly killing . It is plenty of moving drama , nudism , emotion , rough sex , thrills , mayhem and a known ending . An intelligent and engaging script which uses moving situations to give us an acceptable movie in a high suspense and complexity and that kept you entertained for the almost 100 minutes of duration . Regarding the complex and violent relationship of a couple and their seriously affected kids through several years until an unpredictable event cruelly hits them . Flawless story with a duo of handsome protagonists , Charo López and Agustin González . Interesting screenplay from prestigious Spanish screen-writers : Gonzalo Goicoechea , director Santiago San Miguel himself and Perla Vonasek. The flick develops a lot of steamy affairs between two main roles involved into an embarrassing and disconcerting relationship . Adding some exploitation moments as the husband and his friend attempt to rape the disconcerting wife . Rightly paced , so-so drama/thriller which neatly combines nail-biting set pieces , love scenes , disagreeable situations and tension . You can find a little flaws in the story lines , there are some left unexplained and others characters end up being implausible . Pay attention the very well played support cast , giving decent interpretations : Cristina Marsillach , Francisco Casares , Francisco Merino , Juan Jesús Valverde , Raúl Fraire, José Yepes , Concha Leza , Fernando Guillén, Andrés Resino , Antonio Gamero, among others .
