El test

Partially filmed on the island of Tenerife

We often face dilemmas which shake up our very existence forever. This is the case of a middle-class married couple with financial problems - Héctor (Carlos Santos) and Paula (Miren Ibarguren) - when Toni (Alberto San Juan), one of their best friends, proposes they take a personality test prepared by Berta (Blanca Suarez), his girlfriend, a very successful and high-profile psychologist. The question is the following: what would you prefer, 100,000 euros right now or 1,000,000 in ten years’ time? That simple, and yet, that difficult.

The decision the couple must take seems very simple: be content with a small fortune immediately or wait for ten interminable years to win ten times more. What begins as a theoretical supposition, a simple personality test, will, little-by-little destroy the personalities and the most profound secrets of our leading characters, forcing them to put a price on their principles and, finally, forcing them to take a decision that will change their lives. Who knows if forever?

60% of the technical and artistic personnel are residents of the Canary Islands. In addition, the services of more than 20 local companies were contracted to meet the needs of this production.
