The Absent (Spanish: Ausentes) [1] is a 2005 Spanish psychological thriller film directed by Daniel Calparsoro from a screenplay by Calparsoro, Ray Loriga, and Elio Quiroga which stars Ariadna Gil and Jordi Mollà.
A married middle-class couple (Julia and Samuel) moves with their children to a new estate in the city outskirts, with Julia suffering from anxiety upon settling in what turns out to be a deserted place. [2] [3]
The film is an Estudios Picasso and Star Line production. [7] It was shot in the suburbs of Madrid. [8]
The film was released theatrically in Spain on 16 September 2005. [2]
Casimiro Torreiro of El País considered that the film holds for around a 95% of its footage but, in the remaining 5%, issues pop up and it becomes clear that cheating has occurred, with the whole experience underpinned by a hard-to-swallow plot device. [9]
