I'd recommend this film to all, though if you're a fan of time travel or suspense thrillers, you should certainly give this film a look.… Expand

What imagination! Very offbeat Spanish film, with a plot that fascinates as well as bewilders. Interesting direction, excellent score. An admirable effort that is always compelling. Plenty of unexpected twists.
