The successful film director Esteban Martínez is a legend, both because of his films and because of his past which is characterized by violence and excesses. For his new project, he offers his daughter Emilia a role, under the guise that he wants to help her with her stalled acting career. Living together on the film set will create a bond that they have not had for years, but it will also open up old wounds that have never healed. Javier Bardem is perfect as Esteban, not only because of his enormous charisma but also because as a viewer you have the tendency to still have some understanding for him even in the most extreme situations.
