Although I am not that well versed in the language I could understand the feelings and frustration of the central character going through life's crisis in his 40"s which I am as well. Life's intricacies woven around the central character and the people he happens to encounter as he makes his way about entangling himself. Beautiful characters and character study although I wished the writer had thrown in more screen time between the professor and the mature lady student he occassionally meets in the college hallway and the young student who dots on him. I wish we had more access to Spanish movies in our country and in theaters infact with subtitles if required. Tranquilo.
