    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Director Juan José Campanella was not happy with the English translation of the title. The original title was intentionally ambiguous, since the Spanish word "sus" could mean "their", but also "his" or "her".
    • Goofs
      The young Benjamín Esposito is left-handed - you can see it when he is writing some notes at the office, regarding Isidoro's letters. Old Esposito is, on the contrary, right-handed (check out the very beginning of the movie, when he's starting to write his essay).
    • Quotes

      Pablo Sandoval: A guy can change anything. His face, his home, his family, his girlfriend, his religion,his God. But there's one thing he can't change. He can't change his passion...

    this is what we call.............................flawless
    One of the most perfect movie i have ever seen.This type of movie come once in a while,and remains with you for a long time.

    The best thing of the movie is cinematography that makes movie so beautiful.They use camera so well and scenes are shot so beautifully especially soccer match scene.They give a very realistic feel to movie. the scene of the crime is shown very realistic.

    Great acting by all the actors.all characters are very well portrait by actors.

    The story of the movie is so emotional and deeply involving and have very well written dialogues. this movie kept me so engaged with all the perfect twists and pace. this movie have everything crime,romance,drama,thriller and have some moments that makes you laugh.

    Direction of the movie is flawless,this movie is almost perfect in all the departments.I hardly found any mistake in the movie.

    This movie deserves at least three Oscar nomination this year for screenplay ,cinematography and best movie in foreign language.

    This movie is a masterpiece and will be remembered among greatest movies ever made(at least by me).

    I give this movie 10/10
