[2] Taking place in Barcelona,[3] its plot follows a psychopatic paramedic (Casas) navigating the relationship with his girlfriend Vane (François) and a newly acquired disability, as he was rendered paralytic from the waist down in the wake of an ambulance accident.

One day, while taking an injured patient to a hospital, the ambulance (driven by his colleague Ricardo) is involved in an accident, and Ángel is left paralysed from the waist down and uses a wheelchair.

Vane works at a call centre at night, and Ángel installs spyware on her phone to keep tabs on her.

When Vane returns home that day, Ángel has cooked her favourite meal and is apologetic about how he has treated her.

Ángel meets Vane in the street and tells her that he has boxed up her remaining possessions and asks if she would like to come and pick them up.

He presents her with an engagement ring (actually stolen from one of his former patients) and talks of their future together raising their (Vane's) baby.

When the old man threatens to call the police, Ángel stabs him to death and pays his friend the fence to dispose of the body.

Although with only partial use of her legs, she succeeds in dragging herself down the staircase of the building, but when the lift stops on the landing, Ángel exits.

In the final scene, Ángel is in hospital, now completely paralysed, unable to talk, and breathing through a tube in his throat.

[7] Rubén Romero Santos of Cinemanía rated the film 3½ out of 5 stars, rallying laggards to join the Mario Casas bandwagon, highlighting the transformation experienced by the actor from Three Steps Above Heaven to The Paramedic, in which he plays a "wheelchair-bound inhuman sociopathic demon".
