Synopsis:
This is a critique of the bourgeois told through a story of two adulterers. While Bardem’s Death of a Cyclist begins with an accident caused by adulterers, this film begins with the death of the adulterers themselves. What were an older member of the elite and the young wife of a bank clerk doing alone in a car?
