César (played by Luis Tosar) is a protagonist in Sleep Tight.
César is the apartment building concierge and the central antagonist. Unable to find happiness, he secretly enters Clara’s apartment, drugs her, sabotages her belongings, and engineers misery for the tenants. He frames the cleaning boy, kills Marcos during a confrontation, threatens Úrsula, and later claims Clara’s child has finally made him happy. Clara (played by Marta Etura) is a protagonist in Sleep Tight.
Clara is a tenant whose apparently happy life becomes the focus of César’s sustained harassment. He hides in her apartment, tampers with her care products, plants insects, and causes her rashes and distress. She becomes pregnant, moves away, has a baby, and receives César’s disturbing letter connecting the child to him. Marcos (played by Alberto San Juan) appears in Sleep Tight.
Marcos is Clara’s boyfriend and later discovers evidence that César has been entering her apartment and drugging her. He confronts César after finding suspicious items, and their fight ends when César stabs him in the neck with a piece of glass. His death intensifies César’s criminal danger and leads to a threat against Úrsula. Úrsula (played by Iris Almeida Molina) appears in Sleep Tight.
Úrsula is a teenage tenant and the daughter of another resident. César pays her hush money after she notices his activities, but she repeatedly demands an adult movie and later €100 to remain silent. Because she knows he was involved in Marcos’s death, César enters her apartment and threatens her not to report him. Úrsula's Father (played by Pep Tosar) appears in Sleep Tight.
César's Mother (played by Margarita Roset) appears in Sleep Tight.
César’s Mother is seriously ill in the hospital and is practically unable to speak, though she listens while César talks. He visits her more than once and tells her about Clara and his intention to destroy Clara’s happiness. These visits reveal a limited family connection through which César verbalizes his obsession.
