Synopsis

The life of Isabel and Sebastian changes forever the day she starts to suffer alzheimer. They are a traditional marriage: he is a retired member of the army who's never taken care of his wife and been specially helpful to her. When Isabel starts to experience her confusions because of the disease, Sebastian will give her attention and care for the first time, what makes him open his eyes about important aspects in their relationship that, involuntarily, will give him an opportunity to redeem from his mistakes.

Jesús Ponce writes and directs this touching story starring Isabel Ampudia, Sebastián Haro, Mercedes Hoyos, Víctor Clavijo and Bruto Pomeroy. It will hit the theaters next May the 3rd 2019.

What the critics say average 6.0 from 3

  • 7.0 El PaísJordi Costa Its potential shines internally thanks to the excellent melodrama this film doesn't get to be (...) I wish Ponce had used more times the image rather than the words. Read
  • 6.0 FotogramasJuan Pardo An attractive proposal undermined by the lack of media and a very schematic script. The film follows the guidelines of its director previous work (...) It takes time to the story to take off. Read
  • 5.0 CinemaníaSergio F. Pinilla The performances make the screenplay better than the dramatic musical notes, and the way of shooting shows that time and trends have passed by the filmmaker. Read
