Plot Summary

Julia finds 300 million pesetas hidden in a dead man's house while selling an apartment. She's a 40-ish real estate agent now forced to face the wrath of a very peculiar community (of neighbors), headed by an unscrupulous administrator. Black humor gives way to suspense, closely followed by horror that doesn't take long in coming to a head in undisguised pandemonium. Written by ElianaG

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Towards the last third of the film, when Julia is searching a way to exit the building, she skips through the dead rich man's diaries and several maps of the house can be seen. But one of the last ones, on the left page, is a drawing of the comic book "13, Rue del Percebe" by Spanish artist Francisco Ibañez. See more »

Quotes Julia: So kill me, too and stop boring me with your sermons. You're a fraud and a thief, like me, like everybody.
Emilio: No, I'm not a thief. I'm not a thief. I have a right to it, I do. We did the sports lottery together. I helped him guess the scores. He asked me for advice. He said..."Sporting against Real Sociedad"... And I... I... I said..."Tie". I don't know, it just came out of my mouth. No one else in Spain marked "Tie". Just me. I said, "Tie". When I heard he'd won the jackpot, I was glad. I swear I was glad. And he didn't want to share. As if we didn't exist. We were neighbours. A lifetime together, meeting in the elevator, in the bar... It meant nothing to him. He could have given us part, or just gifts. But no, he wanted it all for himself, the Goddamn greedy fucker. I've dreamt about this moment ever since. If I hadn't spoken, if I'd shut my mouth, if I hadn't said "Tie"... the bastard wouldn't have ruined our lives.
