Tras el cristal 1986, Agustí Villaronga

[…] It’s uncomfortable, and icky, and polarizing, and fascinating all at once, particularly given the artistry on display in both Villaronga’s very determined use of colour (cool blues and blacks with occasional pops of red) and the symbolism of various cages, which keep these characters imprisoned within rooms, machines, the house and, of course, their own horrific trauma.

Watching The Skin I Live In and the daughter lists the medication she takes:

Trankimazin (Alprazolam) 2mg

Cipralex (Escitalopram) 20mg

Deprax (Trazodone) 100mg

Lyrica (Pregabalin)

and no longer on Rohypnol (Flunitrazepam)

I haven't read the book but I'm curious if her dad prescribed this and if he was overmedicating her. It doesn't tell why her mother had an affair, but there might be a reason his daughter can't stand to be in the same room as her dad - although in the films it's because she can only see his face as the abuser's face (trauma transference) but he was also very controlling and maybe this has something to do with it? I have a lot of questions but there are no answers - only viewer interpretation.
