"An impressively slick and slimy performance from Javier Bardem"—Mark Kermode, Observer UK

"Blanco needs to be at once loathsome, reassuring, cosy and yet plausibly seductive -- and the Spanish star fleshes him out with brio and a nicely deceptive middle-age joviality."—Jonathan Romney, Uncut Magazine

Academy Award Winner Javier Bardem stars as Blanco, proprietor of Ba´sculas Blanco, a Spanish company producing industrial scales in a provincial Spanish town, which awaits the imminent visit from a committee that will decide if they merit a local Business Excellence award: everything has to be perfect when the time comes. Working against the clock, Blanco pulls out all the stops to address and resolve issues with his employees, crossing every imaginable line in the process.
