A dying tycoon, Max (Fernando Fernán Gómez), undergoes cancer treatment in a Paris hospital. His wife, Marie (Geraldine Chaplin), and his estranged son, Victor (Leonardo Sbaraglia), are with him at his bedside. This is significant considering that Victor hasn't seen his father in a long time. The delirious Max confides in his son, much to the disapproval of others, and asks Victor to help him escape. He also tells him about his dark past, as if attempting to clear his conscience before death.

Emilio T @MilloTPue Jun 17, 2020 Between 3 and 3.5 stars. It goes unknitting the many nots around the past... See more May 2, 2018 Maravillosa pelicula de conflictos familiares y de como nos sentimos indefensos siendo ancianos y perdiendo facultades..última vez que he visto en cine al gran Fernando F.Gomez y siempre agradable ver a Leonardo Sbaraglia y a Geraldine Chaplin. See more May 2, 2018 Un culebron de lujo, muy bien hecho, pero le falta algo... quizas un poco mas de emocion.

See more May 2, 2018 MUST SEE. Once again proves that there is intelligence out there in movie making (Even if it's not in the U.S.). Actual suspense, intrigue, mystery, drama . . . all with out a big budget. MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER. See more May 2, 2018 i don't know how to talk about that...just makes my feel tears full of eyes...
