Audience Reviews

Andres Gomez 9/10 Oct 16, 2014
Great drama in which a ball of lies hit back to the main characters once and again.

The suspense is greatly kept while we attend to the limitations and roles imposed by culture and social conventions. In several ways, a movie setting the path for the next one: "A Separation".
