The movie tells the story of a recently retired widower who meets a mysterious young lady in his life, disrupting his daily routines. Lo que le pasó a Santiago was the first Puerto Rican production in history to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. 表面看似一段亦真亦幻,回忆生活纠缠不清的夕阳恋,实际讲述的却是老Santiago(Tommy Muñiz演得超可爱)从半生歉疚和逃避中解脱的过程。但可依据的最多也只是一两句对白的暗示,谁都没法确知当年情形究竟如何。从剪辑配乐到运镜布光都有些讲不出道理的古怪之处。“生命有快乐即美好,哪怕时有癫狂”$这部电影讲述了一位最近退休的鳏夫在他生命中遇到一位神秘的年轻女士的故事,这位女士扰乱了他的日常生活,给他日常生活带来了新的活力,这部作品因为它展示了波多黎电影的思想及人民生活日常。
