A crisp thriller about moral compromise, Juan Martínez Moreno’s second feature focuses on two law professors—Vicente (Tristán Ulloa) and Fernando (Emilio Gutiérrez Caba)—whose almost paternal relationship is tainted by an unspeakable crime. Vicente refuses to turn in his mentor, but distances himself and his family nevertheless. Soon his silence transforms into complicity, as ambiguities and contradictions turn his carefully controlled world into a pool of hypocrisy.

En un refrescante thriller sobre el compromiso moral, el segundo largometraje de Juan Martínez Moreno se centra en dos profesores de leyes –Vicente (Tristán Ulloa) y Fernando (Emilio Gutiérrez Caba)- cuya relación casi paternal está contaminada por un crimen atroz. Vicente se niega a entregar a su mentor, pero igualmente se distancia de su familia. Pronto su silencio se transforma en complicidad, mientras que las ambigüedades y contradicciones convierten su mundo tranquilo en un mar de hipocresía.
