Life has been more than generous to Cesar, handsome, wealthy and truly in love for the first time. Nuria is infatuated with Cesar and as she sees him slipping away from her she becomes maddened with rage, crashing the car that both are in, killing herself and leaving Cesar horrifically disfigured. Open Your Eyes is a dark tale, a deliberately confusing but compulsive blend of reality, fantasy and memory as Cesar attempts to understand what has happened and why he sits accused of murder and insanity.
