🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its power from the suffocating tension of the everyday, exploring the psychology of confinement within one's own home. It relies on superb performances to portray a family performing normality under the weight of a terrible secret.
What lingers after the final frame is a profound sense of the human cost of survival in a climate of fear, and the silent wars that continue long after the fighting has stopped. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: José Luis Cuerda
