Breathless Time (Spanish; Castilian: '''Tiempo sin aire'''|links=no) is a 2015 Spanish revenge drama film directed by Andrés Luque Pérez and Samuel Martín Mateos which stars Juana Acosta alongside Carmelo Gómez, Adriana Ugarte, and Félix Gómez.
Upon the killing of her daughter by the paramilitary, Colombian nurse María travels abroad with her remaining child looking for revenge on one of the killers, Iván, who lives with his partner Vero in the Canary Islands.
The film was produced by Hernández y Fernández PC, Tornasol Films, Zebra Producciones, and La Ignorancia de la Sangre, and it had the backing of ICAA and TVE.[1] It was shot in the Canary Islands.[2]
The film was presented at the 18th Málaga Film Festival on 20 April 2015.[3] Distributed by Syldavia Cinema,[4] it was released theatrically in Spain on 30 April 2015.
Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter stressed as a bottom line that "Juana Acosta is the heart and soul of this rangy but only occasionally powerful revenge yarn".[5]
Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing that the film is split "in two unequal blocks, [respectively] starring the solvent Juana Acosta and a blurred Carmelo Gómez".[6]
Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas highlighted Juana Acosta as the best thing about the film.[7]
