Las razones del corazón

2011 | Spain, Mexico | Color | 125 min.

Emilia, a housewife overwhelmed by the mediocrity of her life and by her husband´s failure, dissatisfied and exhausted by motherhood, feels that life is passing her by. One day, the same awful day that her distant lover leaves her, her credit card is cancelled for non-payment in the past few months. In her empty, desolate apartment, Emilia makes up her mind to do something she´s contemplated for a long time: commit suicide. Curiously, her death brings her deceived husband and elusive lover together.
