Lucía, una joven camarera en un céntrico restaurante madrileño, se refugia en una tranquila y despejada isla del Mediterráneo al enterarse de la desaparición de su novio, un escritor con el que lleva viviendo seis años. Allí, en medio de una atmósfera resplandeciente, tan solo expuesta al aire del sol, Lucía comienza a descubrir los rincones más turbios de su pasado en pareja, como si fueran pasajes prohibidos de una novela que el autor, desde la distancia, le permitiera leer.

This film was a see-saw ride for me, from indifference to the plot to utter fascination. I like it when directors don't make it easy for the viewer, but it took me a while to get used to the strange narrative style with the interweaving of several time planes, but then I was "riding" and enjoying the beautiful cinematography, the unknown to me but all the more enchanting charismatic actors, and the slowly escalating story itself, which Medem skillfully coaxed to a close in the absence of violent tears on the viewer. The erotic scenes, which may be daring for some, are shot very tastefully, but the film's greatest strength is definitely a kind of poetic power that permeates it whenever we get to the island, where Medem revels in beautiful visual compositions. It's just a pity that from a purely subjective perspective I didn't find catharsis in the main character's relationship with the mother of his daughter. But otherwise excellent and I am definitely curious about Medem's other works.
