La Noche del ratón (The Night of the Rat)
A cat-and-mouse game is one of sight: both seeing and being seen. To keep their affair a secret, Sandra and her coworker Jorge often leave for business trips extremely early, to allow for a few hours of romance before the workday begins. In the dark hours of the early morning at the onset of their latest business trip, the couple must make a stop at a remote gas station. Unbeknownst to Sandra and Jorge, someone is keeping an eye on their predawn rendezvous.The cat and mouse meet at this gas station in the Spanish countryside and a thrilling new story unfolds. A dark and suspenseful film, LA NOCHE DEL RATÓN is a story of things that often don’t go as planned. It is the compellingly strong first feature debut from Spanish director David R. Losada.
