Particularly if that seemingly warm and generous overture is being extended by Blanco (Javier Bardem), the self-described “father” of an industrial grade scale manufacturer in a small Spanish town, who views his employees as his “children,” and where there’s no problem too small that he won’t endeavor to fix out of his apparent concern for them.
