User Reviews

kinda twisted; I'd recommend it to anyone who likes Spanish movies

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD

This is the story of a strange friendship- two men fighting for a woman who wants to love them both. Old friends end up resenting and killing each other. It is intense and dark but also witty. If you are feeling depressed when you see it, you appreciate it even more (believe me, I know). And last but not least, Victoria Abril is as tempting as ever. Overall, not a masterpiece but pretty enjoyable. 8/10
