Now I understand my mother, who around 20 years ago suffered, and so did I, domestic violence ( her husband hit me in the nose with no reason, he just came from outside and she was not home, she was at church with my little brother ). I left the house that same night.
Watching this movie, I was at the brink of crying every time I saw Antonio near Pilar. I thought he was going to kill her at any moment. How could she go back to him after having left in the first place? I saw "Rosa the Portuguese" and despite treating the domestic violence issue very crudely too, this movie really put me there, and I hate to see in the news everyday how many women get kill by her own husbands while fighting... This is something that shouldn't be happening anymore...
