A dying tycoon, Max (Fernando Fernán Gómez), undergoes cancer treatment in a Paris hospital. His wife, Marie (Geraldine Chaplin), and his estranged son, Victor (Leonardo Sbaraglia), are with him at his bedside. This is significant considering that Victor hasn't seen his father in a long time. The delirious Max confides in his son, much to the disapproval of others, and asks Victor to help him escape. He also tells him about his dark past, as if attempting to clear his conscience before death.

Audience Member Between 3 and 3.5 stars. It goes unknitting the many nots around the past... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Maravillosa pelicula de conflictos familiares y de como nos sentimos indefensos siendo ancianos y perdiendo facultades..última vez que he visto en cine al gran Fernando F.Gomez y siempre agradable ver a Leonardo Sbaraglia y a Geraldine Chaplin. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Un culebron de lujo, muy bien hecho, pero le falta algo... quizas un poco mas de emocion. A Geraldine Chaplin se le nota demasiado que ha ocultado algo toda su vida y la verdad es que su secreto, si no eres tonto, lo adivinas cuando Sbaraglia se asoma a la puerta de Rancel y le abre un tio cachas, supuesto amigo de el... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member MUST SEE. Once again proves that there is intelligence out there in movie making (Even if it's not in the U.S.). Actual suspense, intrigue, mystery, drama . . . all with out a big budget. MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member i don't know how to talk about that...just makes my feel tears full of eyes... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Well made film, the story is interesting and the actors are doing their job but it leaves me cold. Pity! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
