A variable and certainly stirring screenplay is heftily completed by skillful developing , some nice dramatic narration and explicit violence . Very good acting by the Colombian Juana Acosta as tough , obsessed mother who lost her daughter at the hands of three militiamen and attempts to retaliate against the rapist . Juana suffered in real life similar circumstances to the one her character goes trough , as some relatives were abducted and killed . Magnificent Carmelo Gómez as Gonzalo , a school psychologist whose humdrum life changes dramatically when meets the mysterious Maria .
