Desde que heredó de sus padres la casa de verano, Ramón pasa allà todos los fines de semana y dedica muchas horas a un pasatiempo muy curioso: observar desde la terraza y describir en una libreta a los distintos personajes que pasean y se detienen frente a él, en el banco junto al rÃo. Asà se convierte en espectador de fragmentos anodinos de vidas ajenas. Pero este juego aparentemente inocente revela una cara oscura y peligrosa el dÃa en que se sienta en el banco una desconocida misteriosa con una bolsa de deporte. Cuando la mujer se marcha y se olvida la bolsa en el banco, Ramón no sabe si intervenir o no. La ha dejado allà a propósito? Volverá para recuperarla? Qué debe de haber dentro de la bolsa? A veces, una mala decisión puede convertir nuestra vida en una pesadilla. Un thriller fascinante sobre los lÃmites de la curiosidad.
Ever since inheriting the summer house from his parents, Ramón has spent every weekend there, devoting many hours to a most curious pastime: observing from the terrace and describing in a notebook the various characters who stroll by and pause right in front of him, on the bench beside the river. In this way, he becomes a spectator to mundane fragments of other people's lives. Yet this seemingly innocent game reveals a dark and dangerous side the day a mysterious stranger--carrying a gym bag--takes a seat on the bench. When the woman leaves, forgetting her bag behind, Ramón is torn: should he intervene or not? Did she leave it there on purpose? Will she return to retrieve it? What could possibly be inside? Sometimes, a single bad decision can turn our lives into a nightmare. A fascinating thriller about the limits of curiosity.
