Up to My Neck(2021)

Up to My Neck is a Spanish film that turns a casual monthly card game into something far more sinister. Every fourth Thursday, Lucas, Río, and Marcos gather at Xabi's house for what appears to be a routine evening of cards and drinks. But when Xabi reveals what he's been up to over the past month, the comfortable friendship fractures under the weight of a dark secret. What begins as lighthearted banter among old friends spirals into tension and moral reckoning as the men grapple with the implications of Xabi's confession. The film explores how quickly trust can shatter and how well we really know those closest to us. Confined mostly to a single room, the narrative builds through dialogue and reaction, creating an intimate yet claustrophobic atmosphere that keeps viewers guessing until the final reveal.
