Sin ti

'Sin Ti' takes an in depth look at the life of a young woman, Lucia, whose world is suddenly turned into darkness after an accident. As the story progresses we see how Lucia, who's a wife, a mother and an artist, finds light in a world she once experienced as extremely dark. It's very much a sincere character-driven piece as we see most of the film through Lucia's perspective and the story flows beautifully. I didn't find anything pretentious about it as it kept me involved. 'Sin Ti' also manages to avoid clichés and unnecessary subplots. I wonder what the movie would have been without the beautiful Ana Fernandez's fantastic performance. Her portrayal of Lucia is humane, heartbreaking and suitably restrained. The rest of the cast especially Quim Gutiérrez do well too. Overall, 'Sin Ti' is a poignant film. It is informative but at the same time tells a moving story about a woman who has overcome her struggle in darkness.
