As they go by car to the French Pyrinees to a little location in the mountains . Along the way, Anabel attempts to know the reason for the strange beheaving of Chiara who is usually drunk, killing a dove, injuring a dog and other weird conducts.

This is an intense drama plenty of moving scenes and strange happenings . An interesting film but pretty dull and a little bit boring. Being painly tiring and slow moving, though made with credibility and adequate style. It is a brooding and thoughtful film with an unexpected and surprising ending.

It packs a colorful and evocative cinematography by Ricardo De Gracia, shot on location in Montseny, Barcelona, Andorra, French Pyrinees , Mars de Mollo, La Preste, France. As well as atmospheric and appropriate musical score by Nino Casal. The motion picture was professionally directed by Ramon Salazar, thouh it results to be dull . Ramon is a good writer and director, as he has written successful films as 30 metros sobre el cielo, Tengo ganas de ti, Amnesia. Salazar is ha craftsman who directed provoking and stirring films suc as : 10.000 noches en ninguna parte, 20 centimetros and his best one : Piedras or Stones. Rating 5.5/10. Passable and acceptable.

Wow, this is a powerful beautifully written, directed and acted film. So glad there are still amazing talents in this money driven cinema world. Great piece of work.

This movie really touched me , its slow paced and beautiful.The acting is simply superb. Long time since I have seen a movie that gripped me in this way .

As another reviewer put it: this is not for everyone. Reviewer was quite short in how they view things. Statements involved that the movie is boring, slow and dark. As the saying goes: One man's trash, is another man's treasure (obviously applies to women too).

In this case you have to know that this is not at all trying to be entertaining. There are quite a few passages that are just silent. You get looks and actors expressing their emotions or the scene/story by not talking. If that sounds tedious to you, the movie might not be something you will find rewarding to watch. The interaction and the acting is really top notch though. So if this does float your boat, it will haunt you and grip you (in the best way possible)

Was blown away by this movie, the story stuck with me for days. Loved the slow and intense pace it had. The acting is done so incredible well. Beautiful scenery. Excellent, am recommending it to all my friends, make sure you have tissues ready.
