      Marta Acuña: Namreh Rellok.

      Herman Koller: Come again?

      Marta Acuña: Your name spelled backwards. Herman Köller.

      Herman Koller: How is that?

      Marta Acuña: Namreh Rellok.

      Herman Koller: Huh! That's great. Say something else.

      Marta Acuña: Like what?

      Herman Koller: Um..."Hello, how are you?".

      Marta Acuña: Olleh, woh era ouy?

      Herman Koller: [laughs] That's great. Say "the sea is choppy".

      Marta Acuña: Eht aes si yppohc.

      [both laugh]

      Herman Koller: "The girl plays with the dog".

      Marta Acuña: Eht lrig syalp tihw eht god.

      Herman Koller: "The wind swings the palm tree".

      Marta Acuña: Eht dniw sgniws eht mlap eert.

      Herman Koller: That's great. How do you do it?

      Marta Acuña: I don't know. When I was little I'd get bored and read words backwards. I'd listen to conversations and spell them backwards.

      Herman Koller: [looks at Jacobo walking towards them] "Jacobo is upset".

      Marta Acuña: Obocaj si tespu.

      [both laugh]

    They say whisky, we say cheese...
    Another reviewer's summary of this Uruguayan film is 'the psychology of failure' and I think that is probably a perfect description. This film is so subtle and understated that the vein of humour that runs through it - sardonic, dry and immaculately observed - will pass many people by. The mundanity of life, and the failure of some to see the fact that moments of happiness and relief can be wrestled from such an existence only by those with the vision and desire to do so, is reinforced by strands deliberately left untied. This film won't be for all tastes, but for those with the patience to watch beyond a slow (but necessarily so) opening act, it will prove to be a film worth watching.
