The plot of this film, commissioned to open the BCN FILM FEST on April 21, takes us to a company that is preparing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a make-up company. Its protagonists must face themselves and decide who they are and who they want to be from now on.

Ambition, fear, love and betrayal collide in this hilarious and original comedy about identity.
After the success of his debut film ‘El Rey Tuerto’ (with which he received a Goya nomination for Best New Director), Marc Crehuet directs and writes his second fiction feature film. “We are told that we have to fulfill ourselves personally, find ourselves, but… what part of our personality do we have to find? What aspect of us is the one that has to prevail? comments Marc Crehuet about the theme of his film. «I want to illustrate this inner struggle through the relationship of four characters with their own reflections. I want the viewer to have fun witnessing the disputes that the protagonists have with themselves and that lead them to act in one way or another.”, acknowledges the filmmaker. “In the end, it is our actions that end up defining us, but before making any decision, one part of us has to impose itself on the other. And that’s what I find interesting and funny: the internal conflict that precedes the acts and highlights our fissures. In a society that tends to want to eliminate contradictions, to make us believe that things are black or white, I think it is important to reclaim the terrain of the gray… of the lack of definition that defines us“Crehuet concludes.
In the clip that we show exclusively from FOTOGRAMAS, Areces presents us with his character as a self-conscious man who is mortified in front of the mirror because he thinks he doesn’t measure up, and like the rest of the characters and as the actor himself points out, pressured by opinion external.
