The secret life of words is interwoven with initially inhospitable and ultimately warm images; It pulsates with angry and tender content at the same time. This creates a storm of emotions that erupts in a battle cry against injustice. On an oil platform sunk under the sea live several suffering, mutilated characters who have difficulty accepting life. Isabel Coixet caresses them and creates a wonderful film that culminates in one of the most sincere and emotional endings that Spanish cinema has given in many years.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. USA, 1997 (150 minutes). Director: Clint Eastwood. Cast: Kevin Spacey, John Cusack, Jude Law.
Clint Eastwood sets his story in Savannah, a city in the North American state of Georgia that lives under the weight of the past and faces its social decline, populated by a group of ghostly characters. “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” offers an astonishing lesson in narrative intensity and technical mastery, analyzing its characters, mirrors of a decadent society. Eastwood draws the viewer into a courtroom plot that focuses on the trial of a nouveau riche man accused of murder.
