    Extraordinary Mexican romantic adventure of Lucia, played by Cecilia Roth, finds herself in a triangle of love and friendship are his neighbours, an old man and a young man. I like the love scene between Lucia and a young man that gives me good memories.

    Waste of TIME!! Very Weak movie, DO NOT WATCH, if you do end up watching it, side effects may include: Suicide, murder ramapages, road ramapage, any kinds of ways of harming yourself, and many others...

    It's ok, but a little disappointing. It's director is the creator of Sex, Shame and Tears, and this film is far from have the same "heart", it is also far from being as good as the book is based in. It's entertaining anyway and it's a journey through self-knowledge that can be us...( read more)eful for some people in some specific time in their lifes.
    Es una película X. Me gustó por la frescura y la calidad en cuanto a producción que tiene sobre todo como cinta hecha en México. Dicen que Rosa Monero, autora del libro en el que se basa, quedó satisfecha; no sé de qué, si le quitaron lo mejor: la narrativa.
