Lluís Homar plays a blind screenwriter in present-day Madrid with the assumed name
"Harry Caine"; while still sighted, he was once a distinguished movie director working
under his real name, Mateo Blanco. He hears news of the death of Ernesto Martel, a
controversial Chilean financier who bankrolled his last movie as a director, and
flashbacks take us to this heady period in the 1990s when in return for the plutocrat's
lavish funding, Mateo cast Martel's mistress in the lead role, and had a passionate affair
with her. This is the bewitching Lena, short of course for Magdalena, played by Penélope
Cruz, whose beauty here reaches a swooningly hyper-real state.
