A woman takes her eyes off the road for a second to answer her mobile phone. She hits something with her car and thinks she may have killed someone. The latest film of Lucrecia Martel, one of the most interesting and unconventional filmmakers of the moment worldwide (and one of Pedro Almodóvar's favourite directors), offers once again a delightful visual experience, an enigmatic, precise, exquisite film suited to the discerning cinephile. Co-produced by Almodóvar's company, El Deseo.
