"Lovers of the Artic Circle (Los Amantes del Círculo Polar)" was basically "Next Stop Wonderland" crossed with "Map of the Human Heart" about a couple who fall in love as children and continue star-crossed throughout their lives.
The critics decried the theme of coincidence but it does in fact happen, so it was sweet here.
And yes they are both easy on the eyes and maybe that it's in Spanish makes them seem even more romantic.
I liked that the parents were real people who have problems and lives and grow and change.
The story line goes from each's perspective in flashbacks and current, illuminating thoughts and motivations, which seems to be a trend in movie-making.
Quite beautiful cinematography.
