Listen to me.
OK, you win.
At least you could stop that song. You know I hate it.
Why are you so quiet?
Say something!
You're there.
And you're looking at me.
Do you think you can fool me?
No, no, you can't fool me,
because I can feel your presence.
And your movements.
I can even smell you.
If you think...
If you think, son of a bitch,
that I'll hang myself while you watch, you...
- What's wrong? - What happened?
Julia, what's wrong?
Julia, can you hear me? Bring some water.
Take it easy, Julia.
Julia, are you OK?
- What happened? - She fell.
- Call a doctor, quick! - No, I'm OK.
I'm OK.
This is Sara. I can't take your call at the moment. Please...
Do you think it's a good idea to show up after six months?
I just need to know that she is all right.
Sara?
Maybe they have gone out.
No...
I know something's happened to her.
The power is out.
- The fuses seem to be OK. - I'll look upstairs.
Sara?
Isaac, she's nowhere to be found. We'll ask the neighbors.
- Don't come down. - Why?
What's wrong?
Isaac, tell me what's wrong.
- What's wrong? - Julia...
- What's wrong? - Come with me.
Inspector...
I'm sorry about what happened.
No, thanks.
The forensics say Sara took her own life last night, during the blackout.
But we need to find out why.
I have been informed that she suffered a degenerative disease.
Yes, a progressive vision loss, the same as my wife.
But Sara went blind a year ago.
And how did she cope with that?
My sister wasn't depressed, if that's what you mean.
In fact, she was...
She was going to have surgery, right?
She was waiting for a donor, but she hoped to get her vision back.
Maybe she got tired of waiting.
All right.
Yes, thank you.
Dr Román can't come to the funeral, and he sends his condolences.
He also wants to check your eyes before you go back home.
Isaac, the power is back.
Darling, are you listening?
And the CD started playing. Did you hear it?
- Yes. - Don't you think it's strange
that Sara was listening to music before...?
Besides, she hated that song.
- Julia... - What if she wasn't alone?
- What if she was with somebody? - Julia, please.
We may never find out her reasons. We hadn't heard from her in months.
It's strange. I need to know what happened.
- It's not good for you to get upset. - I'm not worried about myself.
Well, I am. Stress can turn you blind.
It's only happened to me twice in five years.
And you've lost 20% of your vision.
Oh, no... Again.
Did you find anything?
Nothing, not even a candle.
- It's time to meet the neighbors. - OK, hurry up.
Isaac?
Julia.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm Blasco, her next-door neighbor.
I didn't know your sister very well,
but Lia loved her very much and she wanted me to bring you this.
Lia?
My daughter. Sara used to lend her books.
The poor girl is so upset she didn't want to come out of the car.
Anyway...
Sorry... Lia would like to know if Sara left any note.
- We don't know. - I understand.
Anyway, I won't bother you any longer.
Shall we continue?
Only a neighbor and his daughter?
I didn't know she was so lonely.
But I forgave her.
And I also forgave you.
Now I only need to forgive myself for not being by her side.
But I did everything I could, didn't I, Isaac?
The autopsy doesn't reveal anything strange.
- Have you searched for fingerprints? - We only found ours and hers.
OK, but...
That song...
And what about what happened in the cemetery?
Julia, there's no evidence of anyone being with your sister.
And nobody has seen or heard anything suspicious.
You can speak with Soledad if you wish.
- With whom? - An old lady who lives nearby.
Apparently, she helped your sister when she went blind.
Don't be long.
Where does she live?
Follow the rope in the yard.
What rope?
I'm sure the old woman doesn't know anything.
Nobody else knew apart from you.
But you have to speak with your wife. She'll find out sooner or later.
I'll wait for the right moment.
Mrs Soledad?
Hello?
Who is it?
It's Julia, Sara's sister.
I'll be right out.
Sorry about the mess. The house must be quite disgusting.
Hello...
- Are you there? - Yes. Sorry, I didn't know you were...
I am sorry too. I wanted to come to your sister's funeral, but...
it took me an hour to find a pair of matching shoes.
It's OK.
Were you a good friend of Sara?
Well, when she started losing her eyesight,
a year ago, we used to have long conversations.
But lately she hardly spoke with me.
She had made new friends.
- What new friends? - You know, younger people.
- From the Baumann Centre. - Baumann Centre. What's that?
A centre for blind people, not far from here.
One of those places where they make you believe you can live a normal life.
If you can't hear, you are deaf. If you lost an arm, you are a cripple.
And if you can't see, you are blind.
And nothing can ever be how it used to be.
Mrs Soledad, where can I take a taxi?
Thank you.
Go straight ahead, down the stairs and turn right.
Poor Sara.
- Why would she hang herself? - Stop thinking about it.
- Shall we have a moment of silence? - Don't be cruel.
None of us could stand her.
Don't you find it strange?
No.
We've all thought of doing it at some time.
Dela...
Nora is right. I once thought of slitting my wrists.
With candles and opera music.
Me too, I thought of jumping out of the window.
Well, we thought about it but didn't do it.
There's a reason to live.
Maybe Sara didn't find any.
And a boyfriend doesn't seem like a good reason?
Sara had a boyfriend?
She told me she met a boy.
- Who? - No idea.
They had been going out together for a couple of months.
They even went to Bellavista together for a week.
- What's in Bellavista? - Rooms for sex.
Quiet!
How weird! Shit!
What is it?
There's someone here.
- I would say it's Sara. - That's not funny!
- I can smell her too. - Something is moving.
- I've got her! Call security! - I'm Sara's sister.
Julia?
Yes.
- Why were you spying on us? - I just didn't want to interrupt.
- And who is he? - Who?
- The man who came with you. - I came alone.
There's someone else here.
A man, and he's right behind you.
Wait!
Who are you?
Turn around.
I said turn around!
No, no!
Isaac?
Hotel Romeo, Bellavista.
What happened to you?
You are soaking wet.
It started raining when I left Soledad's house.
Have you been with her all this time?
She invited me for tea. I couldn't say no.
Julia, I went to look for you. You left her place an hour ago.
Where have you been?
Why are you so controlling?
I could also ask you what you're looking for.
Fine.
Now I'm certain there was something strange in Sara's suicide.
- There's someone watching us. - Julia, Julia, please.
Who?
Her boyfriend.
- Sara had a boyfriend? - Yes.
Who told you?
A group of blind girls told me at the Baumann Centre
and someone was spying on us.
- How do you know? - Because I ran after him.
- You ran after him? - Yes, I did.
Isaac.
- Isaac! What are you doing? - We're leaving this house.
Listen to me. If I have to be a controlling husband, I will be.
And if I have to drag you out of here, I will too.
But I won't let you have a seizure.
You know I would never forgive myself.
Your sister's death has hurt us enough.
You're right.
But I don't feel like going back home.
Why don't we go somewhere, you and me, alone?
Where would you like to go?
- Are you sure you want to stay there? - The guide says it's the coziest hotel.
Nice view, isn't it?
- Julia. - Yes, yes. It's beautiful.
Thank you.
Julia...
- I'll park the car. - Yes, OK.
You don't remember my sister, a blind woman?
Yes, a colleague talked to me about her.
This may sound weird,
but could you find out the name of the man who was with her?
- There's no name on the receipt. - Sorry, but I don't remember any man.
The thing is...
my sister is dead, and I need to find this man.
Let me see... I don't understand.
Her booking is not registered.
It's as if all the information was deleted.
- Are you sure? - Sorry. It must be a computer problem.
You could try El Arlequin. It's the restaurant we recommend to our guests.
Thank you.
I don't understand how they can recommend this restaurant.
I like it.
It's not your style at all.
And that waiter won't stop staring at you.
Really?
- It's your imagination. - Maybe.
- My reading glasses... - In your coat? How weird.
I'll go and get them, and I'll go to the toilet too.
If he hits on you, just yell.
What a change!
I like it. It highlights your eyes. By the way, I knew they were green.
You're confusing me with my twin sister. She was here last week.
With her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend?
She came with a man, didn't she?
Yes, I think so.
- Do you remember his name? - No, no idea.
He was very quiet, very sad.
- Could you describe him? - Sure, he was...
He was very plain, like any other man.
But was he tall, short, blond hair, dark hair?
I can't remember right now.
How can you remember my sister but nothing about the man?
She drew a bit of attention with that blindfold.
Blindfold?
She was bandaged after the operation.
- Did she have an operation? - Of course.
Hence the bet over her eye color.
She said she'd come once she'd recovered,
and if I guessed her eye color, I could...
- Pablo, can you come for a second? - Yes, sure.
Excuse me. My greetings to her.
I couldn't find them.
Let's see how I manage.
Is something wrong?
Sara was here last week.
Julia... what are we doing here?
Isaac, the waiter told me she had her eyes bandaged.
Do you realize?
If she had the operation and had a chance to regain her sight,
why would she commit suicide?
Tell me why.
Because the operation didn't work.
What?
It didn't work.
Dr Román told me yesterday.
I was waiting for the right moment to tell you.
That man exists.
Julia, Julia.
- Anything else I should know? - I was only trying to protect you.
- From what? - From the truth.
What's the truth?
Sara committed suicide because she couldn't stand being blind.
Julia.
Did you know she came here with her boyfriend?
That doesn't prove anything.
And why is he hiding? Why didn't he show up at the funeral?
Maybe he wasn't with her by then.
Maybe he left her when he found out she'd never recover her sight.
That easy?
That easy, right?
- Well... - I can't believe you're a psychologist.
Julia!
God!
What are you doing?
Julia, Julia.
Didn't you see the car?
You didn't see it, did you?
How many seizures have you had?
Two.
Shit!
Shit.
If...
- If I go blind... When I go blind... - No, no. That won't happen.
Not wanting it doesn't mean it won't happen.
Isaac...
One time you told me that...
...when you looked into my eyes, you could see the entire universe.
- I still can. - What if the universe shuts down?
Close your eyes.
What?
Close your eyes.
Can you see me?
Of course I can't.
Then how do you know I'm still here with you?
Because I can hear you.
What if I remain silent?
How do you know I'm still here?
I can touch you.
And you can smell me.
And kiss you.
Promise me that when the day comes, we will go back to the desert.
What?
You know?
The last thing I'd like to see is that sky, with you.
- Julia... - Promise me.
Promise me.
I promise you.
But...
But you have to promise me...
...that you will stop chasing ghosts.
And that we will go and see Dr Román.
Tomorrow.
OK.
I'll bring the luggage to the car. I'll wait for you outside.
In 15 minutes.
Ms Levin.
I'm really sorry for your loss.
My name is Créspulo.
I read about your sister in the obituaries section of the newspaper.
Thank you.
I have something of hers.
A few hours after your sister left,
I found a key in her room, under the bed.
I think I put it here somewhere.
Thank you.
Mr Créspulo.
I'm sorry.
Mr Créspulo...
My sister came here with a man, didn't she?
The invisible man.
I beg your pardon?
Nobody remembers the man who came with your sister, right?
Well...
That doesn't mean he is invisible.
There are people with no light.
Do you know what it's like to walk in somewhere and not be noticed?
Or to walk on the street and have people stumble against you?
Or to ask something for the third time and have no one answer your question?
That's the man you're looking for.
A pause, a vacuum.
An absence.
That's why nobody remembers him.
Nobody except you.
In a way, I am also invisible.
It's been many years since the last time someone remembered me.
This man...
do you know where I can find him?
What are you afraid of?
He parked his van in a car park two blocks down the street.
There's a CCTV camera recording 24 hours a day.
Thank you.
Wait!
Be careful.
The man who was with your sister had very angry eyes.
He knows how to be a shadow.
If someone feels invisible and is angry at the world,
he can be dangerous.
He has no light. Nobody looks at him.
He could sneak up on you and...
- Where have you been? - Did you see anyone?
- I've been waiting for 10 minutes. - Wait a moment.
He's here. And I know how to find him.
- No! - What are you doing?
- Let me talk to the guard. - Will you calm down?
- Calm down! - Wait here.
Don't be so rude!
I remind you that you made a promise last night.
- Enough. - I can't take it anymore!
- I said don't yell at me! - I've had it!
There's no mystery in Sara's death!
Do you want the footage? You'll have it.
But this shit ends right here, right now, all right?
You've reached...
Excuse me.
Has anyone been here asking about security videos?
Look... I don't want any trouble, OK?
That guy came, gave me some money and I promised to keep my mouth shut.
He is my husband. I've been waiting for a while.
Do you know which way he went out?
He left as soon as my little friend made the copies he wanted.
And...
Was there anyone else here?
- Are you sure? - Nobody.
We can check the monitors in case we see something.
What the hell?
I'll be right back.
Goddammit!
What's wrong?
Calm down. It's me.
Someone has switched off the power.
It's impossible.
My husband has been kidnapped. He's in danger.
OK, the only thing we know is that someone stole some CCTV footage.
No, I've already told you. It was the man who was with my sister.
You have to find him before it's too late.
How can we find someone that nobody has seen, not even you?
Créspulo.
- He killed him because he was... - No evidence of violence.
...the only who could recognize the invisible man.
- He's erasing his tracks. - What do you mean?
My husband is in danger!
- Calm down, madam! - Isaac!
Call a doctor, quick.
We need a doctor down here.
Isaac.
The process is irreversible.
How long do I have?
I don't know... Perhaps a few hours, days.
Maybe a few weeks. Definitely less than a month.
We have to find a donor and operate as soon as possible.
Did you know Sara's boyfriend?
No, I didn't know him.
Julia, I know you're going through a hard time,
but you have to think about yourself.
So, please, try to avoid emotional stress.
And don't force your eyes. OK?
Iván. Iván.
A boyfriend?
Sara never told me about any boyfriends.
She didn't trust men.
Unlike me.
- Or you. - Isaac hasn't left me, I'm sure.
That's what all women think.
I also came up with a story when my husband left me.
He couldn't stand my son Ángel.
And my son was more important than anything else.
Then my eyes started to degenerate and I went blind.
Luckily, Ángel looked after me for 10 years,
until I woke up one morning...
and he was gone.
My son was gone.
What kind of son abandons a blind mother?
I had to come up with a story.
And I still keep to it.
Such humiliation! I'm sorry.
Hello?
The hotel is fully automated. There are no staff.
Guests check in through a machine.
They called from the bank this morning to inform me about a transaction
with your husband's credit card.
I searched the room and found this on the bedside table.
Julia, there's things about your husband you don't know.
- He kept Sara's surgery from you. - To protect me. The doctor told me...
The doctor didn't talk to anybody about the surgery.
How did your husband know?
Inspector, a patrol just drove by Sara's house and saw light inside.
Isaac?
Wait here. Don't move.
Isaac?
Hello?
Isaac?
Julia!
Shit! I have to get out of here.
Where is it? Stay calm.
Where is the door? Stay calm.
Julia? Julia?
Inspector! There's somebody down here. Inspector!
Julia, calm down. It's me.
There's somebody here.
What's wrong?
Turn on the torch. I hate darkness.
Please, say something. Why aren't you saying anything?
Thank you.
Hi.
There's something you should know, Julia.
Your husband left a letter.
We checked the handwriting and there is no doubt it's his.
Listen...
Sara and Isaac had been lovers for six months.
He apologizes in the letter.
That explains the numerous calls to her we found on his mobile phone.
Did you know they were in touch lately?
Think, Julia.
Did Isaac insist on getting the video?
Probably because he didn't want you to see him on it.
Then he went back to the motel and decided he couldn't live without Sara.
I'm sorry, but everything makes sense.
We found a donor. We can operate tomorrow.
You just have to sign here.
Thank you.
Calm down, Julia!
Calm down. Sleep a bit more.
OK, Julia... Everything went well.
But we have to be careful now.
You eyes must be protected from the light for two weeks.
And don't manipulate the bandages yourself.
If you remove them too soon, there won't be a solution.
But don't worry, you will be taken care of.
No.
I'd rather go home. I hate hospitals.
I know, but I'm afraid that's impossible.
- You need supervision. - I could... go to my sister's house.
I know my way around it very well.
Julia, honestly, I don't think it's a good idea.
Right, but if I can't see, I can't feel.
All right, let's do this. You can go to your sister's house.
But a care worker will visit you every day, OK?
Julia, there's something else.
Your husband's body is still here. I can take care of it if you want.
No.
I'd rather do it myself.
Could you keep the body until I can see again?
I need to say goodbye to him.
Let's sit on the sofa. Slowly.
Keep walking...
- Here are your things. - Thank you.
- Careful. Don't worry. - No problem.
Shall we wait here until the care worker arrives?
- Can you do me a favor? - Sure. What is it?
I'd like to know what this key opens.
Whatever it is this key opens, it's not here.
- Did you try every lock? - I did.
Do you need anything else?
No, thank you.
- You can go. - All right.
- Hello? - Hi.
You must be Julia. I'm Iván, the care worker.
Sorry I'm late. The traffic was bad. I phoned you, but it got cut off.
I would have preferred a woman.
If you want to call Dr Román... What happened to your hand?
It's just a scratch. You won't feel anything tomorrow morning.
I will make you dinner and clean up a bit. You stay here.
By the way...
What should I do with the glasses?
Throw them out.
While you ate, I familiarized myself with the house.
Julia.
- What are you doing? - Sorry. I have to go.
What time is it?
It's nine o'clock.
On the first days, we lose track of time.
I'll give you a couple of sleeping pills, just in case.
And also a pager.
If you want to contact me, press this button. Give me your hand.
Look, here's the button.
Let's go.
- What are you doing? - I have to put you to bed.
- Sorry, but I can do it myself. - Are you sure?
Are you OK?
OK, you win.
Put me to bed and then you can go.
Who's there?
Calm down. Calm down, darling.
It's me.
Isaac?
How can this be?
Don't say anything.
Thank you.
- What are you doing? - Taking this dirty bandage off.
- So you can see me better. - No!
That's it, that's it.
Leave me alone. Get off me! Get off me!
Don't resist, little sister. We're two against one.
