Directed by Woody Allen, this is a love story set in Spain, and stars Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson.

Woody Allen explores yet another variation on his central theme of complex sexual relationships, but this time through the lens of the tourist’s camera. The tourist is Scarlett Johansson in her role as the restless Cristina, who has no idea what, exactly, she is compulsively seeking through the lens of her digital camera (Metaphorically, she begins to catch a glimpse only after she exchanges digital for film). Both Cristina and her intellectual best friend, Vicky (Rebecca Hall), arrive in Barcelona, where they are quickly captivated by the attentions of an aspiring artist (Javier Bardem), who is encumbered by baggage, the baggage in question being his suicidal/homicidal wife, Maria Elena (played to the hilt by Penelope Cruz).
