I'm watching as many German language films as I can and this one has the bonus of including a lot of Spanish (my third language). From a learning perspective as opposed to purely entertainment, this is definitely one to watch as it has some great acting and some wonderful scenery.
Unfortunately, that's about it. The premise is fascinating and I was really looking forward to watching it but after the first fifteen to twenty minutes, it became clear that the story wasn't going to go anywhere.
The "twist" was predictable so this meant that there were no surprises and ultimately the actors didn't have anything to resolve because nothing really happened.
It seems like they had a great idea but just didn't develop it very well. As a whole, the film felt very small.
6/10
