Good book adaptation

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is a good adaptation of the Juan José Saer novel "Cicatrices". The director didn't follow the same structure as the book, and focus the camera in some of the book events with an absolute theatrical treat, with the characters reciting dialogs from the book with excessive coldness and distance. Anyway, it's a fresh view of the novel. The drama of the three stories that intermingle is disturbing: Angel, a young man who has a love-hate relationship with her mother, Sergio, a lawyer who leave everything for his sick impulse for gaming, and Luis, a worker married with La Gringa in a relationship in which the hate and resentment leads to a tragic end.
