[Machine Translation] A cynical and pop expose of the true nature of the mass media! [A black suspense film that will hit you right in the brain! The latest film by Alex de la Iglesia, a world-renowned Spanish director of unconventional talent. A man at the bottom of the barrel of the ocean takes up the challenge of an unprecedented one-shot game in this thrilling thriller! Salma Hayek, popular for her roles in "Frida" and "Desperado," gives a wonderful performance as his wife. She was nominated for the Best Actress Award at the Goya Awards (Spanish Academy Awards) for this film. --Roberto, a former elite executive in the advertising industry, is now at the bottom of his life and has been looking for a job since he lost his job two years ago. Today, after being cold-shouldered by an old acquaintance, Roberto drives to the place where he and his beloved wife Luisa had visited on their honeymoon. However, the hotel that holds precious memories for him and his wife has somehow been transformed into a museum. The mayor was in the middle of a press conference to promote the ruins of an ancient Roman theater as a tourist attraction. Then an unexpected situation occurred. Roberto panicked when he was warned by a security guard and fell into the excavation site of the ruins far below. A rebar about 1 centimeter in diameter lodged itself deeply into the back of his head. Emergency services, firefighters, and surgeons from the local hospital surrounded Roberto one after another, and the media began live coverage by flying in a helicopter. The media continues its furious battle for coverage, the mayor, who only cares about the election, and the curator, who wants to protect the ruins before human life, all engage in a frenzy of ego-boiling, while Roberto, a former advertising executive, discovers his enormous "market value" that now attracts worldwide attention and takes an unexpected action. Screened at Latin Beat Film Festival 2013.
