Quotes
Juan: Who the hell is this James? And Rose? What the hell is up with them? All this has no soul. It has no soul, because you don't know what the hell you're talking about ! You don't know what the hell you're talking about ! The reality is out there. I've told you all a thousand times, roll your sleeves up, get out there, look around for stories. How many times did I tell you that?

Fabulous idea and excellent acting

Typical Spanish movie that reveals the darkness of humanity. The twist in the end is a little rush but the whole idea of the story is still very intriguing to me. 7 stars for the story and 2 stars for Javier Gutiérrez's great acting.
