El secreto del orfebre

"The jeweler's secret" is a film directed by Olga Osorio, starring Mario Casas and Michelle Jenner. Based on Elia Barceló's novel, it immerses us in a love story intertwined with the mystery of time. Juan Pablo, a renowned jeweler, returns to his hometown before leaving for New York, only to be confronted by memories of a romance that, in some way, still feels alive.

The movie plays with the concept of time travel and the idea that love can defy the passage of time. The narrative blends past, present, and future, creating an immersive atmosphere. In this sense, it echoes Nietzsche's concept of "eternal recurrence," which suggests that everything repeats in an infinite cycle-something that aligns with the protagonists' relationship.

With a carefully crafted setting and strong chemistry between Casas and Jenner, the film manages to evoke emotions and provoke reflection on second chances and the inevitability of fate. Its slow pace and nonlinear structure might be challenging for some, but for those who enjoy stories that mix romance and sci-fi, it's a compelling watch.

A beautifully woven tale unfolding across timelines - a journey through the fabric of time itself, all in pursuit of love. What an exquisitely told story, rich in emotion and wonder. And the town - utterly enchanting, a setting so picturesque it lingers in the memory like a dream.

A classical movie for the modern time.
