When I was searching for Armero´s film "Brujas" featuring Penelope Cruz, I found this great short film on the data base and used the chance to watch it. The music is a very great support for the rising tension and keeps you in suspense- even if you do not understand all the words that are spoken in interior monologues. I only speak a few words in Spanish, but what Armero does in this few minutes, is very, very impressive to me. And, from my point of view, it is very close to reality, as I experienced it myself. It is the most interesting, even thrilling Short film I have ever seen, thinking about the Top Ten of the IMDB (which I all saw)- this one should be at Number One. Perfect 10/10.
