In the organizer's words:

DOLLY

He should have drawn a line in the sand. Instead, Pedro does his ex a favor and checks in on her mother. Alicia (Carmen Maura) must have driven her caretaker away, because she is now alone in her dilapidated property. Surely he'll get this little friendly service over with quickly? But he was very much mistaken. A bloody night of martyrdom and excess lies ahead of him - and Pedro will lose far more than just his nerves.

Spain's cinema icon Carmen Maura (from Pedro Almodóvar's WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, or COMMON WEALTH and WITCHING & BITCHING by Álex de la Iglesia) shows a completely new side to her acting skills with great verve; and takes no prisoners in the process. Thanks to her captivating performance and the atmospheric set design, up-and-coming filmmaker Martín Mauregui succeeds in creating an exquisitely vicious horror thriller, produced by none other than J. A. Bayona (director of THE ORPHANAGE and SOCIETY OF THE SNOW).
