Un film realist cu Tim Robbins, in care straluceste, alaturi de el, canadianca Sara Polley.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0430576/Ah, nu stiu sa povestesc filmele, de fapt ma cam irita, asa ca o sa pun un extras dintr-o critica:
After portraying a terminally ill patient who keeps her condition a secret from her loved ones in My Life Without Me, Canadian actress Sarah Polley again reunites with Isabel Coixet for the Catalan director’s second English language film called La vida secreta de las palabras (The Secret Life of Words). Polley plays Hanna, a complex foreign woman with a dark past who breaks away from her established routine when on a whim she decides to pass a few weeks on an oil rig as a nurse to Josef (Tim Robbins), who was badly burnt in a fire on the rig and who cannot be moved because of his injuries. The acquaintance and developing relationship between the nurse Hanna, who is deaf and needs a hearing aid, and the temporarily blind Josef is at the heart of the film. The rough oil worker is confined to his room as Hanna is confined to the rig, which has been partially shut down after the accident. Both have secrets they are trying to hide; Hanna by not talking and Josef by talking too much.

Sfarsitul e putin diluat, filmul s-ar fi putut termina cu cateva minute mai devreme, odata cu fuga ei, insa intalnirea dintre cei doi pe platforma petroliera si mai ales universul acela al marginalilor singuratici m-au impresionat in mod deosebit.

Intamplator sau nu, Almodovar cu studioul sau, El Deseo, produce ambele filme.
