At first the plot seems a cliche but turns out to be surprisingly great. The screenplay is brilliant, in addition to the very interesting story, it has some deep lines and tackles beautiful topics. Penelope Cruz's performance is superb, specially when it comes to her real facial expressions. This film is one of the year's very pleasant surprises, it's nice, highly entertaining and definitely deserves its Golden Globes nomination for best foreign-language feature, too bad Spain didn't submit it to The Academy though.
