Everything in it works perfectly, from the extraordinary performances to the atmospheric cinematography, music, etc. To me it was the best spanish movie of 2002 (better than Fresnadillo's "Intacto" or Almodovar's "Hable con ella") and among the best I've seen this year (maybe only beaten by "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "Spirited Away").
The ending deserves a special mention. It left me trembling with emotion and swallowing my tears and I can assure you that I'm not the type that cries in movies.
