On her 40th birthday, Elia invites a few relatives and friends to a fancy house in the country. She has some extraordinary news: she has just won a lottery jackpot of 140 million euros! From that moment on, as the reality of Elia's good fortune begins to sink in, the atmosphere becomes increasingly tense, and what started off as shared happiness gradually evolves into greedy plotting to get their hands on Elia's new money. "One of Spain's foremost female directors, Gracia Querejeta has a reputation for spearing the hypocrisies of the Spanish middle class via solid, quietly-spoken, character-based dramas... (Here she) has assembled one of the best possible casts which Spanish cinema can provide to create this gang of morally disgusting individuals, though all the actors have the ability to suggest that their moral disgustingness is comprehensible." -- Jonathan Holland (Hollywood Reporter) (Montreal World Film Festival)
