Laura (Goya Toledo), a psychiatrist, wakes up bound and gagged in a basement and discovers she's being held hostage by her ex-husband, philosophy professor Ramon (Darío Grandinetti) -- who tells her he has killed 18 people already. Ramon starts a word-association game with Laura, with deadly stakes if she fails to keep up, but is arrested before he can finish. Police officers Espinosa (Fernando Guillén) and Sanchez (Eric Bonicatto) interrogate Ramon, who insists he has no idea where Laura is.

02/05/2013 5 stars or more for this thriller. One of the finest, most taut, beautifully filmed psychologically based murder mysteries I've ever seen. See more 11/29/2012 Though it is well acted and directed the story told is gratuitous and ultimately rather pointless. A must for potential serial killers though. See more 10/21/2010 Snappy, not what you expect it to be, Spanish thriller; with cat and mouse, who's worse the kidnapper or the captive undercurrent. See more 10/09/2010 Excellent Spanish psycological thriller with a few twists that keep your mind active. Highly recommendable. See more 09/21/2010 Unusual film with strong performance from Dario Grandinetti seeking revenge on his ex-wife. Well worth a watch See more 07/29/2009 saw this late one night and it hooked me in. great acting, great set up, good twists and a nasty little ending. See more Read all reviews
