The title is translated as: The Secret in Their Eyes. In this Argentine film a retired federal judge writes a novel hoping to find closure for an unsolved horrible murder case in his past. His novel is also about his love for his once superior. Both meet later in life to discuss the murder case and their feelings for each other. This film is very well done and it's no surprise that it won the Academy Award for the best foreign film in 2010. I was particularly impressed with the cinematography. It was as though each frame of the film could stand alone as a still photograph. I think that European or rather non-American movies tend to be more visual. This film deserves it's 'R" rating with explicit nudity and language.
I thought it was a great film well done with a number of stories and a surprise ending.
