Adela, a night-shift street sweeper in the city of Madrid, feels empty, sorrowful, disturbed… and horny. Tonight, as her work shift comes to an end, she’ll settle scores with those she deems responsible for making her who she is – a human wreck. Her night of revenge is about to begin.

“Rebellious, seductive, provocative, politically incorrect, unsettling… all that and much more defines Hugo Ruiz’s debut, a psychological thriller that explores unfiltered raw terror. Mixing the cinematography of VICTORIA and the powerful use of voice-over from THE GUILTY, this journey to hell would make Paul Schrader proud. Laura Galán, who secured the Goya Award for Best New Actress with PIGGY, gives her all – both physically and emotionally. Ruiz’s brilliant work behind the camera earned him unanimously the Best New Narrative Director Award at the Tribeca Film Festival.” (Latido Films)

Hugo Ruiz is a self-taught film director and a Zaragoza/Spain native. After a couple of short films, his debut film ONE NIGHT WITH ADELA was internationally very well received.
