This is a film that will definitely register with some people and leave others feeling uncomfortable with too many unanswered issues. Most will no doubt be in agreement about the seductive beauty of Paz Vega but she didn't completely deactivate my brain from realizing that this is a very intelligent film. Those of you feeling that there were too many missing pieces need to take this into consideration to come to the realisation that we do not need to dwell on and get lost with all the pieces and all the details, as traditional psychology encourages. Happily painting his childhood bedroom walls white involved letting go of his ego's baggage without needing to blame someone else. This is a film about humility, love and courage. About being able to improve oneself through love and realisation that our ego does not need to control everything.
