action

Gabriela has been fascinated by all things blood since she was a child. The young woman is particularly fond of gruesome murders. A serial killer known as the blue blood killer is currently doing his bloody mischief and Gabriela is eagerly following the investigation. As luck would have it, she saw a TV commercial for a cleaning company that specializes in cleaning murder scenes and applied spontaneously. The following promise is the chance for Gabriela to finally quench her thirst for knowledge. She tries to get a blue blood killer job and, as the other employees of the company strictly refuse despite the doubled bonus, is assigned to this. This assignment follows the killer's last murder, whereby the victim was able to write his name (Paul Guell) on the tiles with a waterproof pen in the last few seconds. Due to the large pool of blood, the name remains undetected by the police and Paul makes his way to the victim's house again after the investigation to remove his name. There he is surprised by Gabriela and one of her colleagues and hides in an adjoining room, in which he happens to lock himself up. From there he observes the work of the cleaning crew. Shortly before the end of work, Gabriela discovers the name of the murderer under the pool of blood. When Gabriela talks to her boyfriend Eduardo about her work that evening, she decides to show him the crime scene. Due to his disgust, Eduardo leaves the house shortly afterwards, leaving Gabriela alone in the house with the murderer after the door to the next room was opened by accident. She reenacts the course of the crime with a dance, while the murderer watches her. He is very impressed by Gabriela and suddenly surprises her when he appears in the kitchen. Then both dance with each other and exchange views on various blood issues. The murderer demands that Gabriela explain the course of the crime to him, she agrees. Then it turns out that she too is supposed to die at his hand, but by a slip the situation is reversed. Gabriela is now crouching on the still unconscious Paul and takes the knife in hand with which Paul wanted to kill her beforehand. After a moment's hesitation, she investigates the question that she had asked herself throughout the film - whether severed heads say a few more words or not. As proof, she records the noises on tape. Before the end credits, you can see Gabriela from the first person perspective of Paul's severed head and hear Paul say her name with a gasp.
