television series

In the 21th century getting hold of natural resources of emerging countries, is no matter of war--it is a matter of complex financial actions. And the power of governments behind the events has been replaced by the power of holding companies. Nowadays you don't conquer a country. You buy it. "Short story of long betrayals" is again set in the Republic of Queimada, where in the "Salar de Queimada" (a salt lake) lies 50% of lithium in the whole world. Not surprisingly, there is an international interest in its fate and a breathless fight to seize it.

一个哥伦比亚的漂亮的女杀手，遇到了两个不同类型的追求者。一个是英俊和风流的富家子弟，一个是可爱和腼腆的小兄弟。围绕着爱情、杀手的悲剧宿命、亲情和混乱的时局，Rosario的感情时而炙热、时而疯狂、时而温柔，最后又是无可奈何的撒手人寰。

南美洲的文化和电影手法都有点让我无法适应。一方面是Rosario的兄弟的隆重的以及疯狂的葬礼所表现出的浓重的亲情，另一方面是最终Rosario被自己以前的伙伴杀死的残忍和无情。而且南美地区浓重的宗教情结和热烈的感情表达方式都是中国人所很难接受的。

影片是根据著名的小说改编的，情节上比较紧凑。但是表演上只有Rosario比较出彩，她的杀手兄弟和伙伴都很生动。相比之下，富家子弟的表演就比较平庸。
