Thank to this film I have discovered the figure of Oscar Domínguez. I didn´t know this artist and his relationship with the surrealism group in France and it has been a revelation. I have found the story truly emotional and Joaquim de Almeida's work here is mesmerising. His presence in the screen is hypnotising and devastating. It was also a surprise to find the classic actor Jack Taylor in the cast, and I have enjoyed also fantastic performances such as Emma Suárez, Paola Bontempi (beautiful her performance of Roma) or José Luis de Madariaga (I loved his character of the crazy old man). This is Lucas Fernández first film and, in my opinion, it is way ahead other film debuts. All the historical part is quite emotional and well constructed. The film has also a wonderful cinematography and a stunning score.
