Alex, some type of editor at an Internet magazine attends a lecture on dream interpretation. At the lecture Natalia (played by the ultra hot Colombian actress Angie Cepeda) asks a question of the lecturer and tells him her strange dreams. During the telling of the dreams one of the women who participated in the organization of the event faints. Natalie tells of dreams where she sees a stone engraved with symbols and that these symbols had some direct correlation with events in the future (at the time of the dreams). The fainter Beatriz, who is an ugly duckling and shy but she wants to get in touch with Natalia. She had previously talked to Alex and now sees him with Natalia so she hopes that through him she can meet her.
Alex, who is supposed to be a total womanizer despite his utter lack of personality manages to get Natalia, too. She is a hottie, independent, assertive, sexual woman- the opposite of Beatriz. Eventually all three meet and we find out that Beatriz got a tattoo months ago that combines the symbols in Natalia's dreams. This freaks Natalia out. They seek the help of a modern-day witch/tarot/type person who ascribes some meaning to all of this which remains to be determined. Alex, on the other hand, doesn't believe in any hocus pocus.
But then we start leaning things about Beatriz. She lied about the age of her tattoo, she had a traumatic experience with an ex who left her for another woman and then disappeared. While Natalia is traveling she gets close to Alex and seduces him, after following him around for a while and spying on him. This guy gets all the women by doing pretty much nothing. His co-worker also amazes at this, while he himself is nearing separation from his wife and daughters. There's a bit of emphasis on romantic relationships in this movie.
Natalia's dreams continue and get more frightening. In addition, someone is tormenting her, too, by replacing her cell-phone with a ring with a man's name engraved on it. Eventually it's too much for her to handle and she tries to commit suicide. But this time we find out the expected. Natalia is the woman for whom the man left Beatriz. Beatriz combined the symbols she found on different postcards that she has from the remains of the man. Symbols that Natalia would recognize. She's the one terrorizing Natalia and she apologizes to her after the suicide attempt.
This could have been the end of the movie, but instead we are taken "2 years ago". To a lodge where Natalia and her co-workers are. A man interrupts. The man is followed by Beatriz. The man tries to get back together with Natalia and makes a scene. Natalia doesn't accept him so he decides to drive his car into a lake. Beatriz follows him and jumps into the water to try, unsuccessfully to rescue him. Fade out. Loooong fade out.
This movie is nearly 2 hours long. The filmmakers are far more fascinated by this material than the audience could ever be. It just drags on and on with nothing happening, no meaningful dialogue, no interesting puzzles. The supernatural angle is completely dismissed for the sake of the revenge angle. That leaves plenty of holes in the story. Im not sure I'm interested in finding out how it's all supposed to work out, because I didn't find myself caring for anyone but Natalia, who is reduced at the end to being a victim. Beatriz and Alex aren't particularly interesting and the story itself, once it leaves out the mystery, doesn't amount to much.
I can't recommend this movie unless you are a fan of Angie Cepeda. In this movie she is naked twice. Once during a dream scene where she walks naked on a street. We don't get to see much of her but her behind. There's a short sex scene where you get to see a little bit more of her great body. In the beginning though when she's out to get Alex, she's terrific, full of energy, giving heart-melting smiles and gestures. Unfortunately she is not allowed to be the heroine of the movie. This movie should have been much shorter or they should have made it more of a psychological thriller or even supernatural thriller. At no point are we aware that Natalia is under such terrible stress. Her suicide attempt isn't warranted. The movie looks and sounds good, had good sets, needs more characters, but mainly a tighter more interesting story.
