This film has far exceeded my expectations for it. It has a very grand worldview as the foundation, far beyond the narrow level of merely presenting and criticizing historical facts, revealing human nature, and describing love and hatred between men and women. . In the film, the male protagonist Esteban represents those people (especially men) who use reason and rely on struggle, rules, wealth, relationships, and rights to build. Once such people go too far, they become stubborn and autocratic. Abuse of power and shut down your emotions. And the heroine Clara is a transcendent existence, she is quite emotional and spiritual, full of love, tolerance and empathy. She is in awe of nature, keeps things real, has a deep insight into the essence of things, and has the ability to balance things. Compared with her husband who is strong on the outside but vulnerable on the inside, she is more tough and brave who is gentle and easy-going. She is the symbol of higher wisdom. Later, even though Esteban owned ten thousand hectares of manor, magnificent mansion, and supreme power, he could not avoid the reality of betrayal and separation... Of course, the story will not end there. At the end of the film, Blanca (their daughter), who had just been released from prison, said: "I was in prison and all I thought about was revenge . There is a connection, as my mother once said." Everything that happens is just the "effect" of the "cause" sown in the past. There are so many remarkable places in the movie, which are worth chewing carefully.
