There is always a kind of love in Modova's work, a strong, almost paranoid love, a passion born of the wild nature of the Spanish, which is not limited to the love of men and women in his other works. For example, the friendship between Manila and three women after returning to Barcelona in this film. If the loss of a child can be resolved in a certain atmosphere, these three women are a good medicine for Manila's grief. Although each woman is suffering from their own misfortune, the hearty laughter is in the second half of the film. Always appear from time to time, this laughter seems to be the truth of life, it seems to be the truth of the film. What the director is doing is actually an incentive.

    It is not only the reality on the timeline, but also a stage play with a series of events compressed, and there is also the possibility of a play in a play. The suspiciousness of the text always exists, and it has become a unique pleasure. They all arise from men (the death of the son, the illness of the father, the escape of the boyfriend), but they are only related to women. Their identities change among daughters, lovers/wifes, and mothers, and they are actually "sisters." The red design looks like a flower in full bloom.

    Vigorous women, suffering and dignity flow through them like a red river, whether it is a daughter, a mother, or a mother or a daughter. Gender is a kind of performance, and this postmodern consciousness is used lightly in a story like this about fertility and inheritance, guilt and forgiveness, and when I watch it, I constantly reflect: Is this a 1999 movie? Ashamed of my originality. The play is so charming. The father's character is missing throughout the film, either abandoned or forgotten, until he becomes a feminine word to return.
