Violets are blue
8 February 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Violeta, the woman at the center of this story, is a woman that does not know what she wants. When we first meet her she is living with Ari, a writer of poetry. Their sexual life appears to be good, but Violeta, evidently, is restless to be in a situation for the long haul. When her cat begins having problems, she takes it to a vet, a handsome young man, who catches her eye. One thing leads to another and before we know, Violeta is involved in a hot love affair with Ivan, the animal guy.

Things do not quite work out the way Violeta had planned. No sooner does she move in with Ivan, she has second thoughts about her decision. To complicate matters, there is a former lover who obviously still feels for her. The only problem is Violet can pick and choose from all these men, but she decides to try a new man after thinking that life with Ariel will not work.

This film is a mess, to say the least. Supposedly, this is a vanity project since the original idea came from Cayetana Guillen Cuervo, in collaboration with Daniela Fejerman, who has contributed to other films. As directed by Nacho Perez De La Paz, and Jesus Ruiz, it seems to fall in the category of "too many cooks spoiled the gazpacho". There is not an ounce of originality in a film with an ending ripped off from "Breakfast at Tiffany's", which next to this looks like a masterpiece.

Nothing in the picture makes the audience become involved in what is happening. To compensate, Ms. Guillen Cuervo does not hesitate in baring it all for the viewer's benefit. The dialog is fake, as are most of the situation presented. The viewer never believes in what these stereotypes have to say.

Watch it at your own risk.
