The secret of their eyes is a movie that won the Oscar for Best foreign Film of 2009. Director Juan Jose Campanella is an argentine scriptwriter that nowadays directs mostly TV series for American audiences (among them, House, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and 30 Rock).
This is reflected in the following quotation:
“He can change everything, his face, his home, his family, his girlfriends, his religion, his God, but there is a thing that cannot change: cannot change of passion”.
Each character hides a passion, and its passion is in turn revealed in their eyes, in the different scenes of the movie.
The passion of Sandoval for alcohol, when he looks at the glass with his eyes lost. The passion of Esposito for Irene, when they wear looking at Gomez's eyes in the photos, and he said...”the eyes tell of more..”
Irene’s passion for Esposito is evident when her eyes always shout at him that she love him. The passion of Morales for his idyllic love snatched; and Goméz's passion for Racing.

But also, the movie shows that obsessions are similar to passions, however they aren't quite the same. Obsessions make us do things that we never thought we could do. Examples of these are: Esposito's obsession with solving Morales's case and to write a novela about it, Gomez's obssesion with Lilliana Colotto, and Morales's obsession is to make Gomez to pays for his crime. Indeed, it is a very intense movie...
Like each character in the movie, I surmise that everybody have their own secrets. However, what many people do not realize is that their most private o intimate secrets may become public through the shining of their eyes. Since I'm well aware of this fact I try my best to avoid embarrassing situations, yet, I have to concede that this is not always possible, because it is of the essence of passions that they cannot be neither hided nor negated. If someone would ask me what are my passions and obsessions, I would say to him o to her that the answer is the secret of MY EYES..
