Ramirez (Eduard Fernández) is an office worker at a Spanish company that has been bought out by an American corporation. An unrepentant smoker, Ramirez becomes frustrated when his entire office building is designated as "smoke-free." Ramirez grows obsessed with getting the company to create a smoking room, and initially he has support from some of his peers. As he meets more resistance, however, his allies dwindle, and he's left to rail at the corporate edict on his own.

04/02/2010 they talk and talk and talk See more 11/27/2008 probablemente cuente con los diálogos más naturales de toda la historia del cine y con algunos de los personajes más creíbles. cada día me alegro más de no tener que trabajar en un infierno de oficina... hay escenas y líneas antológicas: fumando en la azotea, la conversación "pues a mí me ha ayudado"... una joya. See more 07/15/2008 Un auténtico hallazgo en forma aparentemente teatral o televisiva, pero que, tras la barrera que supone una pobre calidad visual, descubre unos brillantes diálogos tremendamente naturales y creíbles, y unos personajes muy bien matizados. See more 05/08/2005 Roger Gual y Julio D. Wallovits debutaron en el mundo del cine con Smoking Room. Y desde luego tuvieron un inicio muy bueno, y ojalá ambos mantengan la misma calidad en sus próximos trabajos. La reivindicación de unos empleados de que haya en su edificio una smoking room, una sala para fumadores, es el pretexto para que los directores cuenten muchas cosas. Envidias entre compañeros, rencores, desconfianza, personajes que arrastran un pasado turbulento y quieren huir de él pero no pueden, personajes que sólo buscan lo mejor para ellos mismos.... Eduard Fernández está magistral, como siempre, y con él el resto del gran reparto: Chete Lera, Antonio Dechent, Juan Diego, Francesc Garrido, Ulises Dumont... etc Un saludo! See more Read all reviews
