Strange occurrences start happening when an orchestra conductor decides to move on with his life after his girlfriend ostensibly split up with him and suddenly disappeared.
Before I start saying anything, I want you to know that I was sceptical for the first half-hour, but my scepticism faded away past the first act.
It’s been years since I wanted to watch it, and I’m glad I finally have the time. I’ll start with the shockingly convincing acting. Excellent job by all actors and actresses who convey the drama, the thrill and the horror portrayed, especially Clara Lago. Director Andrés Baiz handles the story cautiously through a very restricted narrative, so he doesn’t reveal the inciting incident until the time is right. When he does, he makes sure that, through editing, all information is very tightly revealed regarding what is about to happen. Of course, the round of applause starts with Hatem Khraiche’s suspenseful story.
If you are wondering why I was sceptical at the beginning of the film, I will only say that if past events are integral to the story and will be revealed to us anyway, we are accustomed to flashbacks as opposed to getting the whole story at once and distract us from the main plot. Only later on, it made sense from the editing’s point of view. It might sound as incoherent as a sentence now, but please watch it – without knowing anything – and think about it.
