As seen through directors’ Jon Garaño and Jose Mari Goenaga ’Scope frames, Ane (Nagore Aranburu) is but an insignificant sparrow of a construction-site manager observed in overhead shots (her back to the camera) or surfacing, if only for a moment, through the crook in a subway-rider’s arm. Why Ane is mysteriously earmarked as the recipient of a steady flow of bouquets — always delivered at the same time and with an unsigned card — provides the structural vase from which the filmmakers’ narrative buds sprout. She begins to anticipate their arrival and to play novice floral arranger, much to the ire of a disenchanted husband. Strong from the start — all of the major players (sheep included) are introduced before the credits roll — it isn’t until after a game-changing accident occurs that the film begins waiting patiently (and predictably) for all of its plot points to gently fall into place.
