Plot
The fiction follows a financially-strained married couple (Hctor and Paula) who are offered a bargain by Toni, a rich friend of theirs: 100,000 upfront or 1,000,000 ten years from now. Hctor favours the former option whilst Paula prefers to wait, but they need to reach a common stance.
Cast
Production
Based on the stage play of the same name written by Jordi Vallejo, the screenplay was adapted by Vallejo himself. The film is an Atresmedia Cine, Warner Bros. Pictures Espaa and lamo Producciones Audiovisuales production.
Release
The film was presented on 19 March 2022 at the 25th Mlaga Film Festival, included in the festival's official selection. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures Espaa, it was theatrically released in Spain on 2 September 2022.
Reception
Juan Pando of 'Fotogramas' rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, highlighting "the wonderful ironic tone that it maintains" as the best thing about it.
Javier Escribano of 'HobbyConsolas' rated the film 70 out of 100 points ("good"), deeming it to be "very entertaining and easy to watch movie, light but also interesting and thought-provoking at the same time", while pointing out that the story becomes predictable towards the end, and that Resines' character has no place as a comic relief as negative points.
of 'Cinemana' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, regretting that by the time the viewer gets attached to the three lead characters "magnificently" played by San Juan, Ibarguren and Santos, Surez's character bursts in with a different tone, unbalancing the whole.
