Quote :: Angel, an exterminator recently released from a mental hospital, comes to rid a small Spanish town of tiny grubs in the soil. The local wine-making industry has found these pests responsible for giving their product an "earthy" taste that has divided local opinion. While in town, Angel becomes involved with two beautiful and very different women, and impacts their lives on a grand scale. Can either of these women accept the fact that Angel travels with a "ghost" of himself, or that he routinely speaks with the deseased townspeople?

Another nice and strange movie from Julio Medem. Not his best imo but an interesting vision of schizophrenia. And as usual with this director, it is very particular. Dont watch it if you want to have everything explained. Quite sureal and weird but nice, the dream like and surreal atmosphere of Medem's movies make them really unic yess

I like how Medem converts the daily in something surrealistic and how the charapters act normally, but I hate unnecessary sex and how the film turns boring. I will watch "Vacas" next Very Happy
