I mostly liked this movie, but I don't like the way writer/director Nacho Vigilando used this woman more like an object than a character. She goes out of her way to show kindness and patience to a stranger, but we never find out her name or a single piece of information about her. Her body is full-frontally exposed for no practical reason, and the protagonist, Hector, repays her kindness and patience by sacrificing her so he can have his wife back. He tells her she's beautiful first, which apparently is his idea of compensation for what he's about to do to her. The women in this movie are unusually compliant and unquestioning. And this isn't the last time Vigilando would have his protagonist order a woman to disrobe, he did the same thing years later in "Open Windows."
