synopsis:
One family has a whole set of diverse eating disorders--their faith, love and vanity are put to the test at the dinner table. Matilde is a nun convinced that faith can turn wine into water. Secretly, she begins fasting to prevent what she considers to be the second great flood. Elena is a thin, stylish woman ashamed of her daughter's weight. She is willing to do anything to make her daughter thin so she will look like a princess at her first communion. At the same time, Elenaâ's architect husband Gustavo cannot cope any more with his wife's gaunt figure during intimate moments. For an escape, he finds himself in the arms of a buxom female student.
my say:
the film starts off with a moody, eerie shot of what seems like a child dressed as a nun running towards a door, accompanied by loud thuds of footsteps resounding in water.
a horror movie? not quite so. this movie's really very thought provoking. it's very suitable for those who are in constant dieting, take things for granted and over demanding.
the acting of the actors were also brilliant.
