Dare to look at your "dark side"

Although the design traces of the film are too obvious, it is still impossible to conceal the ingenuity of this simple arrangement.
Most of the first 30 minutes of the film are laid out for the back, but if you just watch these 30 minutes, it is really a bit bad, but the good show is behind, and the director is not wasting time. Then he turned suddenly and started to rewind, telling the story line between Adrian and the missing Belen. As a result, the puzzle solving began immediately.
I don't know what I was thinking, but even when the owner of the house showed Belém the secret room, I hadn't guessed that Belém would be locked inside.
When Belem entered the secret room and began her "test" of her lover, the movie began to enter a "exciting" state. Belén preserved his life in various ways and gave signals to outsiders. In the stage of watching the movie, I would also Tibelen pondering over what should I do, or... is there a way?
Afterwards, the film gradually "repeats" the previous foreshadowing from the secret room. The audience's expectations began to be strengthened, what will happen, what will happen in the end.
The dialogue between the two women through the water waves was wonderful. With the music, they gradually sorted out everything until Fabiana found the organ. We all knew that she would hesitate, but we couldn’t be sure what she would do. Choice. When the key is inserted and then stopped, we all ask ourselves, and this kind of self-question is precisely the cunning director's irony of human nature.
At the end of the film, the innocent mistress who opened the secret room for various reasons was locked, and the original match was reborn. This setting, to a large extent, has nothing to do with the cause and effect of good and evil. Because these two women have their "dark side", and more than these two women? In life and death, interest and anger, gentle skin can't hide the hideous underneath.
The music of the film largely completes the picture and mood. You seem to see struggling humanity running and crying.
When facing similar films, I am always used to bringing myself in. As a result, I am often played with by the screenwriter. The screenwriter’s pride comes from the complaints you feel after you feel the same. And before watching this movie, you will always ask yourself secretly: Do you dare to look at your "dark side"?
This film reminds me of my feelings: love is to be cherished and should not be used to test.
