Anger (Rabia)
Synopsis
José María is a building worker and Rosa is a maid. They both are South American immi-grants (he’s Mexican, she’s Colombian) working in Spain. They met a few weeks ago and romance bloomed immediately.
Because of a misunderstanding, the foreman of a construction project fires José María. He waits until the end of the day to get his settlement, but the foreman does not give him any money at all. There is no one left in the place, and in an outburst of anger, José María beats and kills the man. José María goes to see Rosa at the house where she works and he tells her what happened. Rosa’s employers are about to return from a trip abroad. When José María is about to rush out through the back door, he changes his mind and decides to stay, without saying anything to Rosa. He hides in a small room in the attic of the past its prime mansion and decides to wait.
José María has nowhere to go and ends up staying in the attic for days, weeks, months, with the only company of a rat who runs about in the shadows. At night, he steals some food from the cupboard and from the garbage cans; he begins to live a life of silence and austerity, becoming the ghost of the house. When he is not doing push-ups or read-ing a book in the attic, José María listens, watches and spies.
Beyond being a suspense and voyeurism film, “Anger” is proposed as the story of an im-possible love, a “distant” love, with the starring couple living under the same roof.
