A wealthy and powerful young man is the victim of a car accident caused by his ex-girlfriend. Imprisoned for a murder he doesn’t remember and terribly disfigured, he tries to piece together the puzzle of his memory with his psychiatrist.
A deeply manipulative, labyrinthine film, Open Your Eyes is the work of a true master storyteller. This second film served as Alejandro Amenábar’s ticket to an international career.
