Plot A concierge of an apartment in Barcelona named César is on the roof of a building explaining his nature of not being able to find any happiness no matter what he does or what good things happen to him. As he wakes up in Clara's apartment and begins his routine working in the main lobby, he gives hush money to teen Úrsula, the daughter of another tenant. César visits his sick mother in the hospital, who is practically unable to speak to her son but listens to him talk about Clara. Verónica, another tenant, asks César to take care of her dogs giving detailed directions on how to feed them. César ignores her instructions and feeds her dog Rocío a slice of pie. Clara, entering her apartment, opens up letters she has received then tears them up and throws them away all. While this is happening, César hides under her bed waiting for her to fall asleep in order to use chloroform to keep her asleep so he can maliciously mess with her care product. The morning after, he sneaks out of Clara's apartment with Úrsula waiting outside. She demands that César provide her with an adult movie if he wants her to keep her mouth shut. César, working in the lobby, finds Verónica heading out of the apartment. He questions Verónica where Rocío is and she explains that Rocío has horrible diarrhea from something he may have eaten. Úrsula, sneaking out of school, goes to César's apartment and asks for the videotape and tells him that she and Clara talked about César and the price for her keeping her mouth shut will be €100. César has also angered another of the tenants by not taking care of the plants, killing them. Visiting his mother at the hospital again, César says that he is close to wiping Clara's smile off her face as his goal is to make his tenants miserable.
