"A lush title sequence of naked bodies dissolving into one another, the flesh peeling back like the layers of an onion, opens this intense melodrama about one man's inability to face the complexities and destructiveness of his sexual desire. Starring two of Spain's hottest and sexiest male leads, one of them an Oscar-nominee Javier Bardem(Before Night Falls) ,the story centers on the failing marriage of Elena and Alberto, who is having a steamy affair with Diego. Alberto constructs two lives for himself, moving back and forth undetected for some time. But when his wife is alerted to Alberto's infidelity, Diego begins to make demands on his time, pressing for a commitment and wanting to know more about his life. Alberto lashes out as his two worlds collide and grows more confused about his own true identity." (The San Francisco International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival)
