The film opened to lukewarm critical response and finished with a modest domestic box office, but later found its popularity in the international market of China where it topped $25 million in box-office earning.

His lawyer, Félix Leiva, hires a famous attorney named Virginia Goodman, who visits him at his apartment with the news that the prosecutor has found a witness who will be testifying in front of a judge soon; they have just three hours to come up with a defense, so Virginia urges Adrián to tell her the whole truth.

Adrián tells Virginia how he and Laura had ended their affair but received a call blackmailing them to come to a rural hotel with €100,000.

As he and Laura drive back to Barcelona from their cabin, Adrián swerves to avoid a deer, clipping another car that hits a tree.

While talking to Tomás' wife, retired actress and innkeeper Elvira, Laura realized Daniel was their son.

Tomás poses as a reporter during a press conference attended by Adrián, noticing that he pulls out the same lighter he saw when fixing the car.

Virginia suggests that Adrián could claim he saw the face of the man who hit him in the rural hotel room and then convince a court that his attacker was Tomás.

Armed with the knowledge that he committed murder, Virginia suggests Adrián is lying about Laura being the femme fatale behind their deceit and speculates that she lured him to the hotel with the money in an attempt to come clean to Daniel's parents.

With the recording of his confession, Tomás calls the police as the real Virginia Goodman arrives at Adrián's apartment.

Initially, the film was not released in China, but it was picked up by illegal file sharing sites and amassed huge downloads.

The positive word-of-mouth prompted a local film distributor to contact director Oriol Paulo and discuss releasing it in Chinese theaters.
