Abre los ojos (English: Open Your Eyes) is a 1997 Spanish film directed by Alejandro Amenábar which was written by himself and Mateo Gil. It stars Eduardo Noriega, Penélope Cruz, Fele Martínez and Najwa Nimri. In 2002, Open Your Eyes was ranked #84 in the Top 100 Sci-Fi List by the Online Film Critics Society.
From a prison cell in Madrid, César (Eduardo Noriega), a 25-year-old in a prosthetic mask, tells his story to psychiatrist Antonio (Chete Lera). Flashbacks reveal the following events: good-looking César is attractive to women. At his birthday party, he flirts with Sofía (Penélope Cruz), the girlfriend of his best friend Pelayo (Fele Martínez). Later on, he takes her home and stays the night, although they don't sleep together. The next morning, César's obsessive ex-lover Nuria (Najwa Nimri) pulls up outside Sofia's flat and when she spots César leaving in the morning, she offers him a ride back to her apartment to have sex. On the way there, however, she intentionally crashes the car, committing suicide, and César is horribly disfigured, beyond the help of cosmetic surgery. Sofía can't bear to see him like this and goes back to Pelayo.
Abre el mundo ante tus pies
abre todo sin querer
abre el zen, la vanidad
abre la profundidad
abren sexos en tu piel
abren cofres si querés
abre el fuego si cantás
abre el mundo una vez más
abre el roce y el amor
se abren paso entre tú y yo
abre el miedo y el dolor
abrís todo y entro yo
abre un cuerpo, se abre el sol
abre dar también perdón
abre verse en realidad
abre gritar de verdad
Abre el rito de la fe
abre el riesgo de perder
se abre sólo mi ataúd
abre el plexo en una cruz
abre drogas, abre amar
abre besos, abre andar
abre hablar, abre callar
abre el pulso del lugar
abre hacer e imaginar
abre nunca interpretar
abre toda sensación
abre música y color
abre el fin de la razón
abre el cielo y el terror
abre un poco de piedad
abre toda inmensidad
se abre el mundo ante tus pies
abre todo sin querer
Abre al fin la vanidad
abre la profundidad
abren sexos en tu piel
abre un cofre si querés
abre el fuego si cantás
abre el mundo una vez más.
