Revealing mistake: In the scene where Amaro is carrying Amelia out of the clinic and into the car, the old man who opens the car door and holds it for Amaro slams the car door into the camera, which looses its orientation for a while - and there even is a sound.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where the photographer gets killed there's a shadow of the boom mike on the top left right before he gets stabbed. (00:32:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Amaro takes the dying Amelia away from the abortion clinic her head keeps changing between an upright position and leaning against his shoulder. (01:43:15)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: When Ruben tries to speak to Amelia over the phone and leaves his number he gives his extension 117 (in the Spanish version and all subtitles), but in the English dubbed version he says 116. (00:17:45)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When Amaro waits for Dionisia and Amelia to go to the abortion clinic it's 2 a.m., but there's one shot of the sky where the reddish sky at the horizon looks very dawnish. (01:37:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Amelia tries to persuade Amaro to leave town with her, her cardigan covers her dress over the shoulder only partly, but the dress is fully covered from one shot to the next when Amaro stresses the importance of his vocation. (01:14:55)
