Synopsis:

Spanish actress/author/filmmaker Icнar Bollaнn writes and directs the family drama Te Doy Mis Ojos (Take My Eyes), co-written by Alicia Luna. Pilar (Laia Marull) leaves her abusive husband, Antonio (Luis Tosar), during the middle of winter in Toledo, Spain. She and her son, Juan (Nicolбs Fernбndez Luna), go to live with her sister Ana (Candela Peсa). While supportive, Ana doesn't fully understand Pilar's situation. Pilar's mother, Aurora (Rosa Marнa Sardа), refuses to acknowledge the problem. Antonio is desperate to win back Pilar. He sends her constant presents and even attends therapy sessions in order to work through his anger. Meanwhile, Pilar gets a job at an art museum and tries to restart her life. Take My Eyes won several awards at the San Sebastian Film Festival before making its U.S. premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004.

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.

One winter night, Pilar runs away from home. With her, she takes only a few belongings and her son, Juan. Antonio soon sets out to look for her. He says Pilar is his sunshine, and what's more, 'She gave him her eyes'...
