I admire this film for many reasons. But mainly for a script that defies sensationalism and the pitch-perfect performances of the two leads.'Laia Maru' and 'Luis Tosar' beautifully convey all the subtleties and tensions in an abusive marriage.

One winter night, Pilar runs away from home. With her, she takes only a few belongings and her son, Juan. Antonio soon sets out to look for her. He says Pilar is his sunshine, and what's more, "She gave him her eyes"... Throughout the story of Take my Eyes, Pilar rewrites a marriage agreement where nothing was right. Where it said "home", there was hell. "Love" was pain, and the person who promised "protection" brought only terror... But a change in part of the text alters the rest... maybe even tearing it to shreds.
