No one seems to be capable of seeing the full depth of the concierge's brilliant and twisted mind. Those who surface his dark mind are unable to deal with it. Those who ignore him are affected by his wickedness too.
This is a film about the impossibility of happiness, or at least happiness in a conventional way. It was a treat to the senses to see how the protagonist's mother suffers with what his son tells her, and to see the old neighbour being psychologically dissected, till there's no illusion on her pathetic solitary existence.
Raw and mean, accurate on life's complexities, this is a superior film in terms of acting, direction and superb script.
Luis Tosar is the superman, who never sleeps, and whose obsession feeds him and fills the emptiness of a life.
