With Najwa Nimri, Tristàn Ulloa, Maria Vàzquez, Diego Martin, Nuria Gonzàlez, Antonio de la Torre

In Madrid, three women Ines, Eva and Carmen are private detectives. They observe other people’s secrets, and are accustomed judging neither disappointment, nor the lies, but have problems managing their own private life. Often, they play with fire and cross the delicate border between professional and personal life... "The world of the detectives is finally a pretext, which enables us to evoke major subjects such as life in couple, communication between people or distress related to loneliness". Iciar Bollain
