Foreshadowing in the movie plays quite well. When Annabella is ten years old, she tells Mendoza that she considers him a friend and hopes that she might be his friend. His reply turns out to be prophetic and is echoed in slightly different forms as their relationship develops through the film.
Also in one scene we see Annabella as a little girl and Mendoza playfully tossing leaves into a brook. We watch as the leaves land in the water and together float away downstream. This foreshadowing of their life is repeated slightly in a scene where Annabella is bathing in a stream and we watch her soap bubbles float downstream to Mendoza.
One problem with the film, and I have found this to be typical of many British productions, is sound quality. The background music is very uneven and goes up and down often, causing unnecessary distraction.
