Superb narrative

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2016)

I came up to watch this film after its Oscar award as best foreign language film. Although it starts like a crime movie, slowly it becomes into a love story, when we see its development through the eyes of Benjamin Esposito, the former legal counselor, who tries to solve a long ago murder.
What I liked about this story is its reliability portrayed from the 70's - when being a critic of the government was considered a reason to be prosecuted by the state- combined with two loved women stories that have lasted for 25 years. One lesson this movie gives us is "love can last longer than you think" and another is "even a forbidden love can even last longer". And it's precisely those lessons the key for Esposito to solve a crime long ago closed.
