Take My Eyes (Spanish: Te doy mis ojos, literally I Give You My Eyes) is a 2003 Spanish romantic drama film directed by Icíar Bollaín, starring Laia Marull and Luis Tosar. Critically acclaimed for its unclichéd treatment of domestic violence, it won seven Goya Awards in 2004, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Lead Actor and Best Lead Actress. This film was also nominated for the Ariel Award in 2005 in the category Best Iberoamerican Film.
One night Pilar (Marull), fleeing her violent husband Antonio (Tosar), leaves home with just a suitcase and her young son. Taking refuge in her sister's flat, she wavers in the face of her son's desire to see his father and the fact that she still loves her husband. Agreeing to return after he starts group therapy, her dreams of salvaging her family life are shattered by his violent behavior.
