El mal ajeno

In Spain. Dr. Diego Sanz (Eduardo Noriega) has just separated from the nurse Pilar (Cristina Plazas), who works with him, and they have the teenage daughter Ainhoa (Clara Lago). Diego is emotionally detached from his patients, showing no sympathy to them, and is questioned by his intern Juanjo (Marcel Borrás). When Diego is treating a terminal pregnant woman, her lover Armand (Carlos Leal) threaten Diego in the parking area and makes him promise to treat her. Then he shots Diego and commits suicide. Soon Diego notes that he has acquired the power of healing people with his hands. Meanwhile, his beloved daughter Ainhoa has her gonorrhea badly treated and the infection spreads through her body.

"El mal ajeno" is a weird film with a supernatural story of a doctor that "inherits" healing power with his hands. The plot is inconclusive in most of the segments; therefore, deceptive. The conclusion disappoints the viewer. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "Mãos Que Curam" ("Healing Hands")
