"The Passion According to Berenice" is an interesting, detailed character study, with great performances by everyone involved, but ultimately worth watching for Martha Navarro. Her character is one that you won't soon forget: quiet, polite, sensitive, and, in the end, downright scary. Her detached personality makes it almost impossible to tell what she is thinking at any given moment, and this cold ambiguity makes her as memorable a character as, say, Hannibal Lecter. The talented director is very creative and puts in lots of small details that may or may not be important later on. It's an overlooked (in America, anyway) gem of a film that shouldn't be missed if you ever get a chance to watch it.

One day we will all die. The main story in this film shows an example of how young people usually care for their elders, spending all their time to help others instead of helping themselves. It is a story of two persons from different age groups that interact in a somewhat tense environment. Each of the two main characters live in the context of a mutual need, however the younger still looking for a greater selfish need to live life with greater passion regardless of other persons opinions or what other people can think of it. To live your own life to the fullest you should spend time caring about yourself rather than taking care of others. That would be the conclusion understood after watching this gem. But beware, because if you surpass the limits you might end up in hell.
