Dont loose your time. The story is unreal, the acting is over, the whole film is confuse. "A turkey, it is said, placed in the center of a circle traced in chalk on the floor, considers itself hopelessly imprisoned by him". This seems to be the metaphor that the film wanted to use - without success, to guide the plot. Definitely Spanish cinema - with a few rare exceptions, it doesn't mesh, The narratives oscillate between verbose, overly dramatic and redundant. Usually there's a lot of talk and little show. This ends up creating a prejudice against this cinematography, enclosing it in a vicious circle from which it will be difficult to escape. Unfortunately.
