KinoDobirka editorial rating

9.0 / 10

The film has romance, tension, dangerous secrets, and mysteries surrounding Marfil’s past. Her relationship with Sebastián gradually becomes one of the central parts of the story. At first, their dynamic is built around constant arguments and distrust, but over time, a strong attraction develops between them.

I really enjoyed the film. The atmosphere, romantic storyline, tension between the characters, and gradual reveal of the secrets keep you engaged. Marfil and Sebastián are especially interesting to watch because there is a constant sense of tension between them, even when they try to keep their distance.

However, there is one major downside: the ending. The film literally ends just when the story becomes the most interesting. There are still so many questions left unanswered, and we never get to find out what happens next.

I already knew that the film was based on a book and that the story would continue, so I was somewhat prepared for this kind of ending. Still, when the credits started rolling, I couldn't help thinking: “Wait, that's it?”

At the same time, the ending makes me even more curious about the second part. After such a cliffhanger, I definitely want to find out what happens next to Marfil and Sebastián.

Who it's for: This film is worth watching if you enjoy romantic stories with complicated relationships, strong chemistry between the characters, and thriller elements. It should especially appeal to fans of book adaptations featuring wealthy and influential characters, family secrets, danger, and a slow-building romance between the main couple.

Spoiler breakdown

Just keep in mind that the story doesn't have a complete ending. The film practically cuts off at the most intriguing moment, so you'll probably want to know what happens next as soon as the credits roll.
