The Coffee Table Limited Edition Blu-Ray

The Coffee Table (La mesita del comedor, 2022) is a Spanish dark comedy-drama directed by Caye Casas. The film stars David Pareja and Estefanía de los Santos as Jesús and María, a couple adjusting to life with their newborn baby. Tensions rise when Jesús insists on buying an ugly, oversized coffee table against María’s wishes. This seemingly trivial decision sets off a chain of events that leads to a shocking and devastating accident, altering their lives forever.

The film unfolds in a confined domestic space, amplifying its intense psychological atmosphere. As Jesús desperately tries to hide the horrific truth from his wife and their guests, The Coffee Table spirals into a claustrophobic tale of guilt, repression, and crumbling relationships. With its slow-burning tension and pitch-black humor, the film explores the absurdity of everyday decisions and how they can result in irreversible consequences.

Premiering at the 2022 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, The Coffee Table received critical acclaim for its daring premise and unflinching tone. It later screened at genre festivals such as Fantaspoa and Fantastic Fest, where it was praised for its darkly comic yet deeply disturbing approach to domestic tragedy.
