Special preview! Invitations have been sent to four notable Spanish mathematicians to attend a mysterious weekend excursion to a remote location (rowboat-across-the-lake remote). Code names of famous mathematicians from history are assigned to protect their identity — or for what other curious purpose? The host is named Fermat, and the weekend’s goal is to solve one of the world’s great enigmas. After an elegant dinner, though, the real challenge is presented: the foursome must solve incoming logic puzzles and submit the answers through a handheld PDA, or else...let’s just say that not knowing your math might be dangerous to your health. This first feature film by both directors is sensationally stylish, with vibrant saturated colors, handsome actors, and a great thriller touch. Winner, Audience Award, 2007 Málaga International Week of Fantastic Cinema.
