Synopsis

A high class neighborhood is being victimized by murders at the hands of a killer who chooses his victims based on the Francis de Goya collections they have. This killer reproduces scenes from famous Spanish painter Francisco de Goya's 'Los caprichos' with the bodies of his victims. This brings onto the scene Inspectors Carmen Cobos and Eva Gonzalez, who begin an investigation to discover who is behind all of these crude murders, for which they will have to enter an elitist environment in which the trafficking of art is something normal. The detectives know that it is a serial killer because they all die victims of a neurotoxic poison that paralyzes them until they die of suffocation. The movie was filmed in Madrid and Goya's metro station has been used as a set for several scenes in the movie. As well as the metro station, the high class neighbourhood where the murders have been commited takes place in the same area, in a neighbourhood called Salamanca and another one also called Goya. The film is directed by Gerardo Herrero ('The Beach of the Drowned') and is starring Maribel Verdú ('Wave of Crimes'), Aura Garrido ('The Warning'), Daniel Grao ('Giants'), Roberto Álamo ('May God Save Us'), Ginés García Millán ('Happy 140'), Antonio Velazquez ('Off Course') and Ruth Gabriel ('Perdóname, Señor').
