    Who really has "DOWN" syndrome?
    Film was interesting for me because of (at least) one point it made: brother, Leon represents the failure or better the materialization of her, sister's bad luck. For Olvido in some way he, Leon, functions as her own "DOWN" syndrome, the burden she wants to get rid off. She is always depressed in comparison with Leon who has more "joie DE Vivre". So the question is: why is she trying to get rid off Leon? Why she, when sitting on bed and trying to commit a suicide and her attempt fails because her "russian roulette" didn't work out with first bullet, decides to kill Leon? Is not Leon some sort of "screen" for all her frustrations? Whenever something goes wrong for Olvido (her boyfriend leaves her, electricity turned off, suspension from job,failed suicide attempt ...) she projects her anger towards Leon. Isn't she the one who is always depressed (feeling down; sometimes with good reason, but with wrong solutions) and has "DOWN" syndrome?

    Leon y Olvido in my opinion shows the gap between "normal" human being and mentally handicapped person in same way as for example Huitieme Jour did: mentally handicapped people don't take themselves so seriously as "normal" people take them, but former is even one step ahead of later - "normal" people transform their own "syndroms" (frustrations) to mentally handicapped, and if we go one step further: to Afro-Americans, Jews, Arabs,...
