  • Film Director: Gerardo Herrero Pereda.
A couple, totally alienated by the television, lives in a semibasement adjacent to a garage. They wake up, have breakfast, lunch, sleep, do exercise, do the cleaning, work... always conditionned by what is broadcasted in this stupid box. A horror rape happens in the garage and is broadcasted in their television by mistake of the antenna which receives the images thanks to the outdoor security cameras. They become witnesses of this terrible event through the screen, but... what if their eyes don't discern the reality and the fiction?
