Overview
Rose and her daughter Sofia travel to the Spanish seaside town of Almería to consult with the shamanic Dr. Gomez, a physician who could possibly hold the cure to Rose’s mystery illness, which has left her bound to a wheelchair. But in the sultry atmosphere of this sun-bleached town Sofia, who has been trapped by her mother’s illness all her life, finally starts to shed her inhibitions, enticed by the persuasive charms of enigmatic traveller Ingrid.
I wanted to like this movie more than I probably did. I thought that the main character was really interesting and the actress did a great job with the character. I just don’t know that the theme and source material translates well to a movie. It just wasn’t compelling enough.
