Mar adentro
¿Cuál es el crimen? ¿Una vida postrado en una cama? ¿O la muerte autoinfligida con dignidad? Ramón San Pedro (Javier Bardem) plantea ambas posturas frente a una ventana con vista al mar. Al mar que lo dejó inválido, al mar por el que tanto viajó, al mar que ahora le trae dos mujeres. Una defiende la vida. La otra su derecho a morir. Basada en una historia real, Mar Adentro es una invaluable reflexión sobre la eutanasia. --Envase.
