2.5*/5.0*

A Spanish love triangle which has a few sweet moments (also a couple of steamy ones), but doesn't offer anything too interesting. I didn't care too much for the setting (1950s Madrid) and the presentation was also a little lackluster, but solid performances save the film from worse.

The film is based on a true story, but the plot is so generic that I didn't fully understand why they bothered to disclose that info. The direction is decent, but nothing too out of the ordinary. It's a nice enough film, but it fails to stand out in any way and as such it didn't leave much of a lasting impression.
