¿Y tú quién eres?

Ricardo is an old man whose mind starts to fail. His family sends him to a sanatorium, where the doctors say Ricarda has the Alzheimer disease. In his time there, Ricardo meets Andres, an old man like him with a surprisingly enormous imagination. With the help of Andres and Ricardo's grand-daughter Ana, Ricardo will fight against the terrible disease he has. The movie deals with a hot point in the actual society, the Alzheimer disease, and it does it very well, the development of the story is totally believable and logic, with a great amount of feelings rising everywhere. Actors are superb, Alexandre and Lopez Vazquez has always showed it and ROndo is a new discovery. Although it is a movie that must be watched with handkerchief, it is moving and interesting, actors are impressive int heir papers and it is very well filmed. I hope it to triumph in the Goya these year. The only problem of the movie is that many times things happen excessively unsurprising, which can result boring to many people. To sum up, it is a good and touching movie, whose little errors can be forgiven due to its intense emotional charge.

Overwhelming. I read the only review from Daniel Carbajo López (shame on everybody, a film as excellent as this one and it only has ONE REVIEW!!!) and after reading it I watched this movie expecting maybe a sad story but I found myself immersed from the very beginning (the opening of the film is simply sublime!) in such powerhouse of raw emotions that I barely was able to cope with it.

It's simply magnificent; an incredibly quiet, subtle, humane film about the Alzheimer disease, something we all avoid thinking about that eventually, if we live long enough, will end up having it. Could that be the reason for only one review?

The development of this film is just perfect, since we get involved step by step with this old man's problem and because him and his granddaughter are presented as such gentle souls, anything happening to them affects us as if they were part of our close family.

Manuel Alexandre is superb as the main character, Cristina Brondo perfect as his granddaughter, Amparo Moreno makes of Alicia the ideal nurse and Ramón Castiñeiras very competent as the doctor. A special mention goes to José Luis López Vázquez (the grandfather's roommate) one of Spain greatest actors.

If you see this film it'll be impossible for you to remain indifferent to this moving social issue, because with a world population getting older as never before in history if we do not find a solution to this disease the panorama is absolutely terrifying.

The writer/director, Antonio Mercero, excellent, as was excellent the technical part of the film and the rest of the cast; just a perfect ensemble with a very discrete musical intervention only when it was necessary. Be aware that it is a very serious movie and you could get depressed by its contents.
