Alex and Sergi are living together
in a flat in Barcelona. Alex
receives an email inviting her to come to Los Angeles to live and work on her
photography. She will receive a
grant for her expenses. Sergi
wants her to take this opportunity but it is difficult for both of them to be
so far away. Sergi is studying for
his board tests in education. He
is working now as a teacher.
The beginning of this film is the
two characters interacting together in person. Then it is the two characters interacting with each other on
the computer. There are a lot of scenes of Google Earth too. That
seems to be the theme of Alex's photography? I think Sergi acts like a
spoiled brat several times and the couple seems to have a thin connection with
each other. They claim to be in love but this may only be physical and
not as much emotional love? I just didn't find very much going on in this
film? There are subtitles so you need to pay attention but there isn't much to pay attention to? 2* (I didn't like this movie)
