Félix Viscarret’s film from the film crop of the Iberian Peninsula will be out at the cinemas from October, 12. 2023. – 107 minutes

The Spanish-Belgian co-production is an adaptation of the book by Juan José Milás, the process of which the director himself was responsible for, since he worked as a co-writer on the screenplay.

Summary: Damián (Paco León) loses his job after 20 years. Upon hearing the news of his dismissal, he angrily leaves his boss and decides to withdraw from the world at the first possible hiding place that comes his way. Spotting a wardrobe lying on a van, he finds what he considers to be the ideal opportunity for his goal, but the car starts to travel. The wardrobe arrives at the home of Lucía (Leonor Watling) and Fede (Álex Brendemühl), with Damián inside, who is lying down waiting for the furniture to be placed. Our hero then becomes a part of the life of the married couple and their teenage daughter, María (María Romanillos), who is roughly the same age as him, because that very night he formulates the idea that he will stay with them as a mysterious phenomenon moving in the shadows. But with what intention he does all this, it will only become clear with time: will he become a guardian angel or a scary, demonic figure while maintaining the mystery?
