This is a movie that could have used a picaresque tone to make this otherwise somber film come alive. Its director, Ana Diez, gets good performances in general from her attractive cast, but the screen play makes no sense at all as we watch it unfold.

The problem is the character of Jaime. He is the key to the story, but this young man is boring to watch. Fernando Ramallo, who was perfect in "Krampac" is asked to play a young man who is awakening to girls and sex, but there's never any chemistry between this kid he's portraying and the girls who become the object of his attention.

From all the girls in his orbit, Eva is the only one that comes across as the one for Jaime. They seem to love one another, but Natalia, who is seeing Alberto, Jaime's brother has something else in mind. The encounter between these two ends up badly as it provokes an unexpected event that will change the lives of everyone in this circle of friends.

The other problem with the film is that Fernando Ramallo, even though he was in his early 20s when he made the film, appears to be even younger, maybe 17. At the end of the picture he is supposed to be an older person, but he still looks 17!

The actresses in the film are beautiful. Lovely Eva, played by Paz Gomez is stunning and sweet. She's the only one that has loved Jaime. Vanessa Saiz, is Silvia, the girl Jaime liked, originally, but she has nothing in common with him. Finally, Lucia Napal's Natalie, is an enigma until the end. The change she undergoes is not believable at all. She leads the story toward the sad turn of events at end.

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.
