Gerardo Herrero produces and directs the film adaptation of the acclaimed novel of the same name by author Lorenzo Silva, winner of the 2004 Spring Novel Prize.

It stars rising young talent Iván Pellicer (known from the acclaimed series QUERER), alongside two exceptional actors: 2025 Goya winner Salva Reina, and nominee Víctor Clavijo.
