Why?

...not just between a wife and a husband but among family members and among friends as well.

It’s not lack of communication or trust or faith or because of pride. The 3 great As that completes a relationship (1) attention, (2) appreciation and most importantly (3) appearance… That’s how simple they are, but apparently Aga’s wife in the movie was not able to provide the first two - - but the mistress has been able to.

And the flick also shows that it's all up to you, and how you'd like to perceive yourself and your life.

For example, notice how Aga chose to become a hurting person because his father see him as a failure. Afterwards he finds control over his self-destruction that has lead him to be insecure most of his life.

How about Maricel? She made herself vulnerable to Aga’s needs of a domesticated wife. She saw her worth. She distance herself from her need of a reciprocating love by gaining support from family and friends. And she started the change when she pretended to feel apathy at first and then let go of her pains from her past relationships. And finally ‘really’ move on.

But the ‘revelation’ of Angelica who in her youth has craved the fulfillment of career, acceptance of friends while challenging her rights over conquering love. She may have seemed feeble, even compliant at first but her being free-spirited only awakened her wrath. And that same anger was to behold as the story unfolds in the movie.

..it's not five star for me but the triad was successful in their characters.
