Ripstein assembled a storied cast led by Fernando Lujan and Marisa Peredes for Garcíadiego's lush and evocative adaptation of Gabriel Garciá Márquez’s celebrated short story. The film's complex camerawork matches the screenplay's subtle intertwining of voice and desire, fantasy and the dark reality of a retired veteran's embittered solitude and desolation.
