Marga (Cristina Brondo, Russian Dolls, L’Auberge Espagnole) is a highly motivated, successful and arrogant businesswoman from Spain on assignment in Buenos Aires, a city she looks down upon and whose people she loathes. While in the Argentine capital on a day the whole population is waiting to view a rare solar eclipse, she must also find a new tenant for her family’s decrepit apartment.
Rapidly losing her patience, she comes upon the mysterious realtor Jorge (Berta Muñiz, Plaga Zombie) lurking outside the front door. He informs her that he has a client willing to pay an astonishing four times what she is asking in rent. There’s just one catch – the paperwork must be signed immediately.
As Marga waits to complete the transaction, several of Jorge’s associates suspiciously appear at the apartment ready to strip the wallpaper to get at the mysterious wall behind it, and before long Marga discovers that their plan for the building and for her may mean a startling fate worse than death.
The film is directed by Argentine brothers Adrián García Bogliano and Ramiro García Bogliano, the team behind Cold Sweat.
