HALLOWEEN SIGUE EN NUESTRAS PANTALLAS, DISFRUTA EL MIEDO

HALLOWEEN STILL IN OUR SCREENS, ENJOY THE FEAR

Julia regresa a Bellevue con su marido para visitar a su hermana, que está casi ciega debido a una enfermedad degenerativa de la que intentó operarse sin éxito. Al llegar, descubren que se ha suicidado. Julia no sólo debe afrontar la pérdida de su hermana, sino también la pérdida de toda esperanza para detener su inminente ceguera, pues ella sufre la misma enfermedad y parece compartir su mismo destino.

A woman is trying to unravel a mystery that she literally can no longer see in this thriller from Spanish filmmaker Guillem Morales. Julia (Belen Rueda) and her sister, Sara, have both inherited a medical condition that is slowly robbing them of their eyesight, with stress severely aggravating the condition. When Julia gets the news that Sara has died, she has a hard time believing the police report that she committed suicide, and she and her husband, Isaac (Lluis Homar), begin looking into the matter. As Julia examines the particulars of Sara's death, she begins to suspect the actions of Sara's neighbor Blasco (Boris Ruiz), his daughter, Lia (Andrea Hermosa), and an aged woman named Soledad (Julia Gutiérrez Caba). As Julia becomes more convinced that Sara's neighbors were involved in her death, unpleasant events begin happening all around her, and as she comes closer to unraveling the knots that have tied up Sara's death, Julia inches closer to total blindness. Produced in part by Guillermo del Toro, Los Ojos de Julia (aka Julia's Eyes) was an official selection at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.
