Seven years after their first infatuated encounter, Abril and Manuel meet again. Despite the fact that they are both married, it is soon apparent that their attraction has only grown.

Reviews
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
kosmasp The thin red linne ... that according to a "myth" (or whatever you want to call it) connects people. Also the title of the movie (not the exact words, especially not the thin part). Now we have two very beautiful people front and center and you can see where the attraction lie. You may have trouble understanding the actions they are taking, but it's human nature, right? At least that's how you can always explain things.The acting is good and there are some decent twists along the way. While this is aimed at romantics, it may also contain things that appall them (and I am not talking about some minor nudity here but story related stuff). It's not a bad movie overall and if you are into that kind of movies, you will have something to keep your attention for a while
Ivan Lafayette This is definitely a title that deserves a second go from any reviewer who was on a bad day. The film is definitely a honest, realistic and anti-pop script on unfulfilled love and unmet opportunities that fate will endeavour to correspond and correct, regardless of one's utter/innermost intentions. One of the most amazing things I tasted on this film is the fact that I simply dislike love films, with their pop-culture of dreamy realisations and commitments. This one is truthful to the very bone of what life is, there is no sanding of sharp edges, it will hurt the viewer and the characters as much as one's expectations that everything must be happiness. The movie covers very well how certain decisions in life or an inevitability can undermine years of experiences that simply won't take place. Thus, happiness or the possibility of more, purer or different happiness must be reassessed and played against what life juggled at us. Does life deserve to be re-imagined against all aspects that offer one stability and moral standards? This is the decision we all debate through the film itself.Some people might not like Eugenia "China" Suarez as a person but the way she conducts the character's progression and response to the other actor, Benjamin (also incredibly good), made me stop criticising astonishingly beautiful women who play love parts. She suffers like I'd see any person suffer, he believes to the very last moment like I see any other person willing to believe. The movie is very honest and very good.
macca-60221 The chemistry between the central characters Abril, played by Eugenia Suárez, and Manuel, played by Benjamín Vicuña, is believable and the director's decision to make Abril the more confident and secure of the two, was the right move.Manuel meets the beautiful Abril and just as love is about to blossom, a turn of fate ruins their moment.Fast forward seven years. Abril is in a relationship with Bruno Raidy and they have a three year old son, Felix. Manuel is married to Laura and they have a five year old daughter, Rita.On another of Manuel's business trips he meets Abril once more and this time they do get together. Manuel tells Abril, "I can't believe how in love I was with you."They spend a day together and while sitting on a wall discussing life, Abril kisses Manuel. He kisses back and the rain appears. The pair take shelter in a tunnel-walkway where they make love before returning to Manuel's hotel room where they make love again. Manuel's wife calls and the conversation is overheard by Abril. She is upset and tells Manuel "I'm not upset …It just bothers me …….that I'm upset about you having a life with her."She leaves Manuel's room with the line, "And I never want to see you again."Does she see him again?Watch the movie and find out.
Akkan Turgu I watched this at Netflix. Netflix says: This movie is : Emotional, steamy , romantic. Some might say on the other hand that this is a classical, "Lovers meet years after and they are married now however they cant help themselves to have an affair and OMG what is going to happen next" kind of boring movie. Well, they will be probably right with what they say but I'm not sure if they will still be right if they score it less than 4-5. I think the effort, some likable-cute acting,certain scenes ( ;) ) together with some beautiful scenery would worth... at least a 6, I would say. No sleep and nothing to do on a late weekend night? You wanna get emotional, steamy and romantic? :) Give it a try...
