A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Attila Tormus
Every second of the movie was absolutely great! All the players' performances were amazing! But my special thanks to Itziar Aizpuru! We need such movies to understand how our ordinary lives are in fact full of poetic moments. As the movie is walking around love and family affairs gently, it perfectly awakes our feelings, our scars by life, by love, by losses. Without needing a hey-day or needing exaggeration, the movie tells the stories of ordinary people like a wonderful tale book.We love someone but we can love someone else just because it is the way of life. Love someone else does not mean always "to betray our lover"! Love is the most human character and the value of love sometime can be measured with the weekly flowers that we found at our door. What I can say, it is a great movie! Thanks to all team!

Ane's (Nagore Aramburu) existence turns apart when , week after week , she receives a bunch of flowers at home . Always at the same time and always without a senders note . Then , there takes place a car crash and the happenings get awry . Later on , the confrontation between the three women : lover , wife and mother-in-law called Tere (Itziar Aizpuru) , rages because blame each other over the accident , though not formulated .This interesting film is full of drama , touching scenes and good feeling . It is a simple , dramatic and intelligent portrait of a few people , being spoken in original Basque language . The picture is developed in slow-moving but is pretty well realized . The flick stands out for its melancholy and poignant multilevel exploration of romance and remembrance . The story has a certain melancholic style , a climate of transience and sadness that spread the dispute between the three women he knew . The intrigue is whether these intertwined lives finally will eventually find and recognize . It packs a nice cast though unknown who gives good performance . Sensitive musical score by Parcal Gaigne , an expert composer who has composed and conducted a lot of scores such as ¨Mensaka¨ , ¨Silencio Roto¨ , ¨Piedras¨, ¨Azuloscurocasinegro¨ , ¨Gordos¨ and many others .
