Cual historia de terror, "El bola" comienza con el acecho del agresor de manera casi silente. La violencia física no ha ocurrido, sin embargo poco a poco se ha ido incrementando una atmósfera llena de tensión y que llega a su climax con una escena cruda y perturbadora. Es el contraste de una rutina donde aparentemente no pasaba nada, pero siempre ocurrió, solo que fuera de nuestra vista.
