Synopsis:

Diego is a doctor so used to working in extreme situations that he has immunized himself to others' pain. He has switched off from his work, his partner and his commitment as a father. Over the course of a disturbing meeting, Diego is threatened with a gun. Hours later, he can only remember the sound of a bang and the strange feeling of having being hit with something more than a bullet. Diego has to take an irreversible decision which will affect his own life and that of his loved ones.

Modern medicine and old-fashioned superstition clash in Oskar Santos' well-constructed medical drama about a doctor who discovers that he holds the power to heal in his hands. But only those with a strong ability to suspend disbelief will find it credible.Good performances by an attractive cast led by Eduado Noriega, a slick depiction of a big-city emergency room and a surreal element that many might enjoy should take the film successfully to Spanish-language markets and international art houses.
