    Storyline

    Edit
    In Barcelona, Valére is very attached to her French grandmother Marie Tasso and likes to stay with her. While discussing sex with Val, Marie advises her that it's important to jot her life experience down and Val decides to write a diary. Val recalls her promiscuous love life and her lovers since her first sexual experience when she was 15. At the same time she loses her job to downsizing, she is informed that Marie has had a heart attack, and she visits her granny once more before she dies. She looks for another job and when she has an interview with executive Jaime, she falls in love for the first time--but he's not too good in bed. They move into a magnificent apartment together, and Val believes she has found the man of her life. Val gets a job with a gay Italian called Harry at a fashion house, but Jaime becomes jealous and changes his behavior. Val decides to leave Jaime when she gets pregnant and he does not think the baby is his. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    • Goofs
      In the beginning Valerie says that she lost her virginity in 1993 and some minutes later she says "since that passed 14 years"; the engraving on her grandmother's grave says: "Marie Tasso 1934-2006", implying there are only 13 years between 1993 and 2006.
    • Quotes

      Marie Tasso - Abuela de Valére: A woman without a trade has two options: marriage or prostitution. That's about the same.

    • Crazy credits
      Soon after the ending credits start, there is an extra scene of Valerie offering her services to a stranger for free.

    An scent of a women movie
    I think this movie is a bit under rated, the most elaborate part is the music that is fabulous. Belen Fabra keeps her roll very intense that anyone can feel her passion on every intercourse involved. The scenario looks very nice giving a rich environment and very classy. Directing I think is above average and one thing that could not be left over is it's editing which I found it excellent. In all the history is very good because most women feels in that way at some time in their lives and this movie focus that internal feeling very well through the sensitivity of Belen Fabra. The male characters are acceptable in terms of intensity. Ill give a 6.2 rating
