The most important thing in life is not being dead (2010)

In the vibrant world of melody and harmony, Jacobo flourishes as a reputable piano tuner and repairer, basking in the joy of a seemingly fulfilling life with his beloved wife, Helena. However, this tranquil existence shatters when an insidious bout of insomnia sneaks into Jacobo's life. The pianos that once magically restored themselves overnight remain untouched, throwing him into a disarray of confusion and disquiet. Jacobo descends into a whirlpool of paranoia and insanity, haunted by nocturnal whispers and fleeting visions of a mysterious figure wandering his home in a bathrobe. Helena, however, persists in dispelling his fears, assuring him that it's simply a figment of his imagination, her insistence tinged with an unsettling suspicion. Is our perceived reality truly as safe and secure as we believe, or is there a darker, hidden truth waiting to be unveiled? THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE IS NOT BEING DEAD weaves a poignant narrative of treachery and redemption, set amidst the deceptive political landscape of the Franco era in Spain. A delightful tragicomedy, the film cleverly toys with our understanding of reality, shedding light on the fragility of the human condition.
