Penelope, a mother of three kids, gets tired by the infidelities of her husband and leaves him. She goes to live at her grandma's house, while he has to take care of the children. His interest is awakened when he finds love letters held by his wife, indicating a past love affair. She, on the other hand, tries to find her past lover, a Spanish painter, with whom she had a short love affair, only to discover that he is terminally ill. Written by Sophia Canoni
Just a few people wrote on this magnificent film. As a well educated philosopher I can only say about this film. I already said I guess. Magnficant. You want to hear from Baudlierre or From Aragon just in the case of a scene. You want cinematography. Different but soft underlying glorious lyric film. About love & life. This is it. This is the glorious film which manifests the beauty of cinema. And the grabbing of the cinema the hands of life. The setting is great. The story is great. The Music is fabulous. Characters are enormous, perfectly acted. That is a film I wanted to last for 9 hours. This film also gives you that feeling as well. A perfect master piece. Why did so few people commented on that. Find it watch it.
