Father of a middle-class family Alfredo Barrera takes his little daughter to school as he does every morning. But today only appears to be the same as the previous days, and his established rituals have a different flavor. Nobody knows that he lost his job a month ago. Nor does anyone know that Alfredo has a plan… For the next ninety minutes, we never let him out of our sight. In one long take without a single cut, we follow Alfredo over his shoulder as he walks the streets of Vigo in Galicia, absorbing the anonymous atmosphere of the big city where posh avenues form an apathetic stage for anonymous human tragedies, and the line of banks remind us of the source of our ubiquitous modern enslavement. The film’s suggestive, minimalist documentary style is also a silent indictment of a subject that plagues Spanish society: evictions as a result of people’s inability to make their mortgage payments are a daily occurrence in Spain. In the past five years alone, there have been 400,000 forced repossessions. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

Um drama espanhol realizado numa única tomada - uma hora e meia de filme completamente sem edição. Uma experiência interessante, mas ainda assim, não é uma garantia de um filme de qualidade. Tudo trata de um homem que anda pela cidade a vender as suas coisas. A viagem de carro demora cinco minutos, dois minutos para subir as escadas, quatro minutos para andar pela rua, seis minutos num táxi... Um tédio terrível, que não é ajudado pela revelação final da motivação do herói.
