[FlixOlé] Carlos Sura superimposes times, dreams and lucubrations, forming part of his most "Bergmanian" stage, in which the juxtaposition of stories (sometimes imagined, sometimes real) build a polyhedral story in which the characters murmur their thoughts . Some of the most elaborate dialogues of Saura's career are represented in two masterful performances, made up of two characters who have escape in common (from a meddling society and an unknown husband): "I think, I breathe, I walk, I live... that It's not little”, while the camera pans through empty rooms in a half-ruined house in the middle of an arid country landscape.
