Stars Jordi Sánchez gives a nice acting as Adrián a successful CEO become a boring car salesman and Silvia Abril is pretty good as Nadia , the independient wife who attempts recover the passion with him but it goes awry. Support cast is frankly well , such as : Daniel Guzmán , Malena Alterio , Álvaro Cervantes , Cristina Castaño , Ana Morgade and brief appearance by Maria Alfonso Rosso.

It displays an atmospheric and evocative musical score by Pablo Trujillo. As well as a colorful and brilliant cinematography by Guillermo Sempere, being shot in Madrid and surroundings .
