A very dark and perverse Spanish feature by first-time director Agustin Villaronga, set during the Franco era. Disturbing and suspenseful, it centers around the sadomasochistic relationship that develops between a former Nazi doctor (Gunter Meisner) who’s in an iron lung and a curious young man named Angelo (David Sust) who becomes his nurse and gradually takes over his household, including his wife and daughter.
