Item 59

In an old hotel, Inspector Garmendia is evaluating a crime scene.
A room brings together Raúl, a religious man, Tini, a prostitute, and Pepo, a taxi boy; three very different people who discover that nothing is what it seems. An apparent game turns serious, and it soon spirals out of control. There are no victims or perpetrators, because they all are; And only one will survive that dark night.
