The story of the encounter between a boy and a girl. He confesses that he fell in love with her at first sight, but she does not believe him. However, as they walk through the night in Madrid, they share their desires, secrets, and maybe a few little lies.

This is a good film, but I would caution the viewer not to have high expectations. With no expectations, there's a chance you may walk away with an enjoyable experience. There is really nothing spectacular about this film except the fact that as the story progresses, one grows to loath a character who initially comes across as likable. The dialogue is borderline excessive imo, but a curiosity compels one to stick with it.I think the reviews for this film would have probably been a higher if the story line followed a less typical format. I guess in actuality, there is no such thing as an original script or story. All patterns have been followed at one point in time or another. This was true almost 30 years ago in Fatal Attraction with Glenn Close and Micheal Douglas, but the writing, direction, and acting still brought a good enough twist to keep one glued to screen and for the film to win awards. I guess the counterargument here would be budget and star power, which is why I'm have not given the film a rating 6.

I loved this movie. I shed a tear. When I first saw the title I thought the action takes place in Stockholm. After watching the movie I realized that the title is probably referring to the Stockholm syndrome. I found it to be very touching. It perfectly described the superficiality in nowadays people interactions, how words lost a meaning and how something that is unimportant to us can mean so much to another person. I can say that it was a really good movie, because the producer didn't use eye candy tricks to make it enjoyable. The action happened in very few places, but the conversation between them was so meaningful and lacking clichés. I must also add that the actors were fabulous.

First of all, say that this film is a SPOA like I say always (strong piece of art). There's an incredible perfection between the plot and the technical direction things (takes, art direction, etc).This film normally uses sequence shots for express all things in one, this makes you the feeling of being inside the house and get the same emotions of the characters.I rate with 9 and not with 10 for his precipitate an unexpected final... too awesome anyways, makes you'll be reflecting about during hours. I've seen people rating the film so bad just for the plot, but this is alternative cinema!! It's normal that surrealist or strange character reactions, plots, stories, etc like this, because the principal function is voice the point of view of the director from the cameras.Finally, said that the most impressive thing is the contrast of the two parts of the film (from the stages to the perfect change of roles), and how characters are involved.

Great movie. A lovely story with romantic and dramatic colors, you will travel through modern Madrid night dark streets, in a mixture of dialogues and silent moments that will make you laugh and think, think about this modern society, this modern youth, and modern moral, the romantic relationships, sincerity, lies and our responsibility regarding our acts. The script is beautiful, it will give you at first a harmony feeling and comfort, to take you then into a disturbing atmosphere and a clumsy and emotional violence state. You'll see a strong psychological struggle between the characters, as they go switching their moods and hidden intentions and thoughts. Stockholm is a bit disturbing regarding the truth that is telling, and because of both charming characters, very real and complex inside their own ways of walking through life.
