One winter’s night, a woman, Pilar, escapes from her house. With her, she takes just a few things, and her son, Juan. Antonio is soon on her trail. He says Pilar is his sunshine and what’s more, she “gave him” her eyes...Throughout the film, the characters struggle to rewrite a strict set of family norms decreeing who’s who and who does what. They’re based on all the wrong notions. Where it says “home”, read “hell”; where it says, “love”, there is pain; and where those norms promise “protection”, they really mean “terror”. Te Doy Mis Ojos is Pilar and Antonio’s story, but it is also about the people around them: a mother who condones the situation, a sister who does not understand, and a son who sees all but says nothing. The city of Toledo, with its artistic splendour and historical and religious importance, adds yet another dimension to this story about love, fear, control, and power.
