My overall impression is that this movie criticises the city life and deals with not only sidewalls (medianeras), but also the invisible walls that surround us, such as the urban overpopulation, emotional distress and even technology. Both main characters suffer from different types of emotional disturbance for different causes. They have in common loneliness and problems when starting a relationship.
The movie itself was intriguing to me and I quite enjoyed it. I found the colours and settings just as the University of Palermo paper described them: a reflection of each character; in Mariana´s flat there was a lot of light and bright colours, but Martin´s place was darker and many times the only source of light was the computer or a single light bulb. Another interesting feature of the movie was how structures, buildings and architecture imperceptibly mingled and fused with each of the stories: either a character's or some of the smaller stories they have. There are many symbols in the film, however, the one I consider the most important is Where is Wally? book. Mariana has never been able to find him in the city, after looking for him for years. At the end of the movie she finds a person dressed the same way as Wally, so she thinks she finally finds her Waldo in the city. This 'Wally' is Martin.
