Présentation de l'éditeur

Riddled with problems Joanes has to travel to the Mayan Ribera to attend his father-in-law's new wedding. There, forced to leave the hotel due to a hurricane alert, on his trip toward safer ground he has a chance encounter with an old college professor, whom he blames for the failure of his career. It will be Joanes s opportunity to settle accounts with him. Trapped together in an extreme survival setting, with no electricity supply, the tense situation spirals to an unexpectedly violent outcome and a terrible tragic end. Nonetheless, a few days after, Joanes resumes his ordinary life back in Spain with his family, as if nothing had happened and he is still the same man. With a very cinematographic narrative, Jon Bilbao delivers an intense drama that explores man s deepest and darkest instincts.
