A very damaging and wrong one, but a love story all the same
Icíar Bollaín's compelling drama examines the complexities of a relationship marred by gender violence. Pilar tentatively begins to forge a new path after escaping her violent husband, though she finds herself painfully drawn back to him.
The film was highly praised for the emotional truth of its portrayal of domestic violence, and the internal conflicts of the protagonists. It won seven Goya Awards in 2004.
