What is story of this film?

At first glance, a fairly banal story about how a young, handsome rich man Cesar, played by Eduardo Noriega, using the favor of the fair sex, changes girls like gloves. There hasn't been one in his life that he hasn't slept with twice, until Nuria (Naiva Nimri) comes along. The guy believes that he does not owe anything to girls, even the one with whom he unexpectedly even for himself slept twice. However, Nuria does not think so. After discovering that Cesar has a new girlfriend named Sofia (Penelope Cruz), she persuades the guy to get in her car and... Most of all, she wanted to hear from him the answer to the question: "what is happiness for you?"

Well, what I want to say about the film... Yes, I liked it, although it raised a lot of questions at first, the answers to which I found after watching it to the end.

For example, I have long wondered, where is the fiction here? I saw more scenes of delusional dreams of the main character, who clearly had mental problems after he was in a violent accident and, as they say, lost his face. And at first I couldn't understand where the border between dream and reality is, why Cesar is represented in one form or another. But by the end of the film, everything was clarified. The film, directed by Alejandro Amenabar, gave answers to almost all questions, raising many important issues in the relationship between men and women, loyalty to friendship, in search of the meaning of life, and much more.

The film starred Eduardo Noriega, Penelope Cruz, Chete Lera, Fele Martinez, Naiva Nimri, Gerard Barre and other actors who perfectly coped with their roles, played so that I could not help empathizing with its characters.

I recommend the movie to their friends and family, just want to warn you that he does not belong to category of those upon which you can relax, it will make you think about what is happening, not only on screen but in real life.

Pleasant to you of viewing!

Thank you for your attention, see you soon!
