Beautiful film. Written and directed by Julio Medem and with a magnificent interpretation of Asier Etxeandia (Dr. Julian) the story is conveyed to the end without any lapses of continuity or fragmentation of the narrative. Nor could it be otherwise, given that Medem is formed in psychiatry, hence the result meaningful glances between Dr. Julian and Magda (Penelope Cruz). As conscious texture "human soul" is what Julio Medem which certainly demanded of actors such "interpretive masks." Penelope Cruz needs no introduction. Actress that every film grows in understanding of her portrayal of characters, in my opinion, is the culmination of her career, at least so far. Ranges from despair, anger, conformation to rediscovery of love. Luis Tosar (Arturo), perfect in the first scene in the hospital where his wife lay in a deep coma. Looking lost, sobbing, embracing Magda (diagnosed with cancer in the right breast) that forgets his own suffering, to comfort a human being who suffers more than her. The end ... Ah! the end is anthological: Magda faces death with open eyes, a mixture of surprise and anxiety to glimpse what is to come and Natasha opens her eyes to life, as if thanking the one that gave her an opportunity to live the experiences to come in this world, with all its unspeakable evils, but also with all its sensory pleasures. On a scale of 1 to 10, my vote is 9 (excellent)
