As Sophie (Mélanie Thierry) and her seasoned colleagues Mambru (Benicio Del Toro) and B (Tim Robbins) race against time to save the water supply for an abandoned community, they must outwit pedantic UN bureaucrats, military factions and exploitative local criminals - all the while cleverly distracting Mambru's ex-lover Katya, who has flown in from head office to shut their mission down. A dead cow, an un-cooperative supplies store and an angry dog tied to the length of rope they desperately need: the team and their guide negotiate the seemingly simple task of extracting a dead body from a well, but staying sane proves to be the biggest challenge on this not-so perfect day. Official Selection at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Winner Best Adapted Screenplay at the **Goya Awards** "*Extremely witty and light on its feet, yet it manages to be thoughtful, even philosophical, in an absurdist way, about the roots of human conflict.*" - Joe Morgenstern, ***The Wall Street Journal***
