Thanks for this, don't know much about the others but I'm looking forward to the Camaron one.

The guy that plays Paco is a dead ringer.

This film is called Passion India apparently.

Penelope Cruz is also in this one, with Adrian Brody playing the bullfighter.

Hi Ellen,

I've not seen it yet but apparantly it's one of the top five most popular films in Spain at the box office.

At least now we know not to order chips in that bar, since everthing came with chips on top
