The room is entirely disguised and sound-proof, but allows those inside to see and hear everything that is happening on the outside. Having discovered a secret room in their new home thanks to a tip-off from the previous tenants, Belén decides to leave Adrián the video message to declare that she is leaving him, whilst planning to watch his reaction from this secret hideaway. However, after moving to South America from Spain for Adrián’s new work placement, the pair begin to argue and as tension mounts Belén decides to play a trick on her partner to test his resolve and commitment. The latter half of the feature acts as a flashback into the relationship between Adrián and Belén – seemingly all-consuming and passionate. However her opening few days at her new residence are tainted by a paranoia that she is being haunted, following a string of mystifying incidents taking place in the bathroom, as she is convinced that she can hear noises emanating from the drains. The pair fall madly in love as Fabiana moves in with her new lover. Her sudden disappearance leaves Adrián dejected, confused but keen to move on, as he swiftly becomes romantically involved with barmaid Fabiana (Martina García). The picture opens as wealthy, voguish orchestra conductor Adrián (Quim Gutiérrez) receives a video message from his partner Belén (Clara Lago), in which she breaks up with him. Despite being somewhat of a cinematic cliché, rarely has a feature been so aptly deserving of its description as a film of two halves – since Andrés Baiz’s production The Hidden Face is a compelling tale of intersecting narratives, in a feature that could quite easily be released as two separate films.
