A very well done movie about a lost child coming home after many years.
It is written in a very good way that keeps up a mystery. We wonder if Leo is Gabriel or not. And it can be because he is lying or maybe because just like the mother he recognizes it because he wishes to have a family. Besides that we have to wonder what happened with his father.
The scenery is fitting for the movie. Dark and melancholy it keeps up the mood.
The movie depends on acting. And it sure doesn't disappoint. All of the actors were amazing in their performance. Àlex Monner does a great job. We see this tough looking teenager but we also see the lost kid inside coping with the past, memories, adapting and questioning who he is. Emma Suárez as Ana rightfully won an award for her performance. She is the one who has no doubts. We can see her awkwardness in the beginning trying to get the son back in and also the happiness she feels. The two have a great chemistry and make the relationship of two people looking for family and finding each other (whether we at the moment believe that he is Gabriel or not) very believable.
Watching this kind of made me hope that in reality people have mandatory blood tests before being reintroduced to avoid all the pain and worries the characters have in the movie.
