We Kill Your Loved Ones

Juan is forty years old and lives in Cuba doing absolutely nothing. It's his way of life, and he's willing to defend it at any cost. He's joined by Lázaro, his partner in crime, just as lazy as he is but considerably clumsier. Juan's only emotional tie is to his daughter Camila, a young woman who wants nothing to do with a father who only brings her trouble. Alexis Díaz de Villegas plays Juan in this horror comedy directed by Alejandro Brugués. The two friends go fishing and hook what they think is a corpse. But the body wakes up and attacks them.
