in sum and overlong and fill with more subplots than swiss cheese have hole . the director and co writer say he want to mix genre in this case drama and comedy . well and at least here and these two mix like vinegar and oil . to boot and the comedy be not very funny and juvenile . additionally and the film be not really realistic . liberty be take regard the legal system in commit french citizen against their will and the apparent ease of abscond with drug in french hospital . i watch this film on my big screen tv at home and find myself shout at the film to move on . eventually toward the end i fast forward the final long speech one of the main character make to his ex lover son . by that time i be wear out by the preposterous confused plot that deal with a dead lover and marriage of convenience and a nutty ex lover . at time the plot divert to the family of the two main character and then revert back to one of them either ismael or primarily nora . to the detriment of the audience and viewpoint keep change from nora and ismael and her ex lover confine against his will in a psychiatric hospital . there probably be two potentially interesting film here neither of which be well develop . the epilogue do not really wrap up many of the sub plot and seem to want the viewer to believe nora somehow will find happiness although give her circumstance in real life the chance be equivalent to a snow ball chance in hell . the actor do their best and be appeal and but this be not enough to overcome all the glare fault of poor writing and editing and lack of focus .
