From Alejandro Amenabar, director of The Others, Open Your Eyes (remade by Cameron Crowe as Vanilla Sky) is a stylish and intriguing mix of fantasy and horror, exploring the collision between dreams and reality. Fate has always smiled on Cesar (Eduardo Noriega) until now. The night he meets his ideal woman, Sofia (Penelope Cruz), he is confronted by Nuria, a woman infatuated with him to the point of obsession. Isane with jealousy, Nuria crashes her car, killing herself and horribly disfiguring Cesar.
After the fateful crash, reality, dreams, memory and madness blend together. Cesar awakens in a psychiatric prison, undergoing evaluation for a murder he can't quite remember. As he slowly begins to piece together a past of mistaken identities and betrayals, Cesar learns that sometimes you can't wake up from a nightmare, even if you do open your eyes…
