Los cronocrímenes (2007) Plus avec IMDbPro »

Hector(Karra Elejalde) is an ordinary man who's moving to a new house with his wife(Candela Fernandez). One evening, while he's looking through his binoculars, he sees what he believes to be a naked girl in the woods. He decides to go there just to find that same girl(Barbara Goenaga) laying on a rock. Suddenly, a man with a pink bandage covering his face, stabs Hector in his arm with scissors. Then a chase starts, leading Hector to a time machine that brings him back nearly an hour in the past. The young man in charge of the time machine(Nacho Vigalondo) explains to Hector (Hector 2) that he must not interfere with the other Hector (Hector 1) so he can go into the time machine again, leaving one Hector instead of two. Things complicate, and Hector 2 is hit by a car, injuring his face. To stop the bleeding, he covers his face with a bandage that turns into pink because of the blood. Then Hector 2 realizes he has to stab Hector 1 and chase him to the time machine, but things go wrong and his wife ends up dead by falling from the ceiling of Hector's house. Hector 2 returns to the time machine and asks the young man to bring him back to the past a few seconds earlier than the last time (becoming Hector 3). Hector 3 hits Hector 2 with a car, so he can turn into the man with the pink bandage and go after Hector 1. After that, he returns to his house with the young girl from the woods, and hides his wife in order to save her from falling. Then he cuts the young girl's hair to make her look like his wife, and convinces her to climb up the ceiling. Obviously, the girl dies instead of Hector's wife. The film ends with Hector 3 (now the only Hector) and his wife waiting for the police to come.
