 三条横跨数千年时空的叙事脉络彼此交错，映照出希望的微光、人与人之间的连结以及生命周而复始的流转。

　　Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
　　Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
　　As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
　　The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
　　Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.

　　心理学专业学生安吉拉（Amaia Salamanca 饰）分外担心她的期末学分，在教授的建议下，这个一向不相信超自然的女孩决定去探访一座早已废弃的矿区小镇Susurro，那里曾经有一个嗜血如命的马特加医生，传说他的恶灵至今还在小镇上游荡，残害偶然闯入的人们。为了证明马特加医生的传说子虚乌有，也为了顺利通过考试，安吉拉和她具有较强第六感的妹妹戴安娜（Alba Ribas 饰）以及同学乔西（Maxi Iglesias 饰）、托尼（Óscar Sinela 饰）、贝兰（Úrsula Corberó 饰）、卡罗斯（Lucho Fernández 饰）驱车前往那个荒凉阴森的边远小镇。
　　借助精密仪器和戴安娜的配合，他们似乎真的将马特加医生唤回了人间，而死神也一步步向他们靠近……
