Why watch this film?

Adaptation of the book 'Until the Day the Dog Died' by Daniel Galera. With good dialogue and performances, it's an interesting movie about relationships and life dissatisfactions. The feature film starts slow but picks up pace and explores the main couple, Ciro and Marcela, very well.
