The cast composed of very important and well-known Spanish and Argentinean actor"s fails almost completely. Leonardo Sbaraglia starts very seductive, but when things get dramatic he is unable to deliver. Leonor Watling has a one facial expression character; even when she looks very nice and unprotected, is hard to believe somebody could get so obsessed about her. Cecilia Roth is a caricature, absolutely miscast. Norma Leandro unnecessary as Sbaraglia mother and head of the organization. Sarda, Cava and Alterio are the only ones able to get some credibility in their small parts.
It is really sad, because with all the misses, there are a few intelligent details. The story never tries to create a heroine out of Watling role. The fears and persecution of communist under Franco regime are very well described and touching, as is the misery those peoples were condemned.
In sum, if you do not know history or if you are looking for something trying to show history realistic, take a look otherwise do not loose your time, read a book about the subject.
