- Synopsis
- Timoteo (Sergio Castellitto), a surgeon, gets the shocking news that his fifteen-year old daughter Angela (Elena Perino) has been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. As she is operated upon, Timoteo looks out of a window to see (or imagines seeing) a woman, her back facing him, proceeding to sit down on a chair in the rain outside. He notices her prominent red heels and turns away in disbelief, indicating he was familiar with them. His subsequent reminiscences about an old affair comprise the remainder of the film. A subsequent scene shows Timoteo sitting in a bar in an unfamiliar location on a hot day. Italia (Penélope Cruz), a woman of Albanian origin working at the bar and wearing red heels, offers to let him make a seemingly important call from her home. The inebriated Timoteo, having entered her flat, rapes Italia and subsequently falls in love with her. He learns from her, among other things, she was sexually abused in her childhood by a dress salesman (who is later revealed to be her father). He decides to leave his wife Elsa (Claudia Gerini) and conveys this to Italia but,just as he is about to come clean, he discovers that Elsa is pregnant.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"This is a very watchable movie, but in the end it's like realizing you've spent a couple of hours in the company of an outwardly civilized jerk."
-
"A full-bodied, all-stops-out love story with a wrenching impact that makes most of today's screen romances seem undernourished by comparison."
-
"The character of Timoteo is so hypocritically conceived that it's hard to watch the movie to the end."
-
"The script is morose and unfocused -- not to mention hard to believe and insulting to women."
-
"A mesmerizing erotic odyssey given gravity and heart by Cruz"
-
"We just don't learn enough to compensate for feeling so little."
