The Premise
On Christmas Eve morning, a man walks into a police station and confesses to killing two or three people. The harder question is why he’s confessing now and what he hopes to gain. From there his story becomes tied to another seemingly closed case, one that defies all logic.
That setup is classic Paulo: a simple opening that quietly turns into a puzzle. Netflix has kept the details tight, so expect surprises.

Why Fans Are Watching?
Paulo has built a reputation for twisting Spanish thrillers, and an ensemble led by Fernández and Casas suggests another layered story. The Christmas Eve setting adds an ironic edge, since a holiday of peace becomes the backdrop for confession and mystery. For background on the filmmaker, see Oriol Paulo on Wikipedia.
