The film focuses on the claustrophobia of living in a "closet," the constant fear of discovery, and the immense strain on the relationship between Higinio and his wife, Rosa, who sacrifices her life to protect him.

Directed by Aitor Arregi, Jon Garaño, and Jose Mari Goenaga, the movie is noted for its technical perfection, using darkness and a "shaky-cam" style in specific sequences to heighten the viewer's emotional connection to the protagonist's restricted world.
