Then, while she’s lying in the bath, she notices the smooth surface of the bathwater gently begin to ripple. She thinks she can hear noises coming from the pipework, and the water instantly grows scalding while she’s having a shower. However, Adrian has been keeping a secret from his new bed-buddy: the police are investigating the disappearance of Belen, and he’s high on their list of suspects.ĭespite her misgivings - which are tempered somewhat by the fact that Adrian is seriously loaded - Fabiana sticks with him, but is disturbed by a number of strange occurrences in the house. A relationship of sorts develops between Adrian and Fabiana, with her moving in to his plush mansion - which was once owned by a high-ranking Nazi - in double-quick time. Although apparently upset, Adrian quickly finds solace in the arms of Fabiana (Martina Garcia), the waitress in a nearby bar in which he gets hammered after receiving the news from his now-ex girlfriend. Adrian (Quim Gutierrez) is a successful orchestra conductor who finds a video message from his girlfriend, Belen (Clara Logo) informing him that she is leaving him for another lover and that he’s to make no attempt to find her. The film revolves around three people, none of whom, for different reasons, is particularly likeable. None of us are innocent, and it’s this concept which Andres Baiz explores in his uneven thriller The Hidden Face. We’re a two-faced lot, we humans we deceive those closest to us, play stupid games with their emotions, and hide our true feelings and intentions from them.
