Dangerous dreams and passions, 29 May 2007
7/10
Author: MartianCreature from Redondo Beach, CA

Interpretation of dreams is the foundational idea of the plot at first, but as this subtle tale develops, it takes on more the dimension of a mystery thriller.

The movie's fulcrum is a passionate triangle with a fine Spanish cast. Two women and a man all become acquainted at convention regarding dream interpretation research. Natalia (a beautiful Angie Cepeda) publicly relates a recurring dream she has been having regarding a distinctive tattoo and a man repeatedly crying out her name. Beatriz (winsomely pretty Laia Marull) seeks out Natalia later to state she has been having identical visions, and thinks she may have insights as to what it's about. Alex, a Casanova lady's man type, becomes involved with both ladies.

What starts as an investigation of this dream mystery gradually evolves into a story of scheming deception, tragedy, revenge, and a woman scorned. As Natalia is tormented by her visions, her interaction with the others becomes obsessive and confused. The acting of the three principals is excellent, and the story is stronger for it.

As far as weaknesses to the movie, the actions of one character are inconsistently vindictive with their other actions. There are a few random gratuitous scenes, such as a pointless sequence showing a series of people using a toilet. It's just weird, and then they speed up the movement making it even sillier.

Overall, a well developed character driven plot line which unfolds with strategic precision. A fine film, worth a watch.
