CGiii Comment
It is a tense and intense twenty-four hour chronicle, set in Galicia in the 1950s, which depicts the life of three middle-aged men, drinking fellows who leave a trail of destruction, of neglected and repressed sex, closing the doors behind them and throwing away the keys, as if they did not want to go back, as if they knew they were walking towards their own perdition on purpose. The film is based on the homonymous novel by Eduardo Blanco Amor, published in Buenos Aires in 1959, which is probably the greatest Galician novel of the 20th century. It was also the first work to deal with homosexuality in Galician literature (Blanco Amor was gay).
