The Final Scene + others

Who is it the actress Lena sees when opening the house door in the last scene of 'girls and suitcases' we get to see?

Was there anything about Lena being pregnant? we see her throwing up during the film after being in bed with Arnesto. I figured she might be pregnant from Mateo.

Judit finds Mateo's and Lena's pictures wripped in a bag when going to check out of the hotel. Who could have wripped them if Mateo went right to the hospital after the accident?

90 Minutes into the film, after Judit had picked up Harry and Diego from the beach, there is a quite long scene shot through a window. There is a couple with a baby and a man with a dog. All through the film it was the only scene in my eyse that was out of context and i was wondering if there was anything else behind it except for its artistic beauty.

In the DVD special features the scene from Girls and Suitcases is extended, first as a deleted scene and then as a hilarious short about the Chon woman.

Basically, after the doorbell rings and they think it's the police, Chon hides in the bedroom, and two people are at the door, one of whom is Ivan's son. They want Ivan's suitcase, the other person, presumably a girlfriend or something, is angry, but Pina and the son get along really well and when the girlfriend goes to the kitchen to get a drink she has some Gazpacho and passes out. Chon has to leave Pina's bedroom because of the smoke and Pina and the son go off to do something, leaving Chon with the sleeping girlfriend, to whom she recounts all sorts of hilarious and filthy things about sex and how she's going to write a book.

Yes, what about the people walking through the park, under the bridge? It comes and goes so quickly, but I did wonder how that fit in.

Like some other scenes, it fades in and out like someone opening and closing their eyes. It turns out to be the view from Harry/Mateo's window! Just look at the way way this trailer is edited - http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2232418841/

Does it mean he can see, if only now and then? And here's me just arguing all the reasons why he was definitely blind LOL

As for the people opening the door - the point here is that we're left wanting more. It's enough to know that Girls & Suitcases is going to turn into a good movie after all and that Harry/Mateo will be able to show Lena in a good light. If Almodovar didn't end it there, it would have started to take over the main feature.

But as someone has responded, there is a way of finding out who they are, plus the extras on the DVD are worth watching. Plus it's time to see Women on the Verge again!

Was she pregnant? Maybe. I thought she was just ill after all those hours with a man she has grown to hate and never felt attracted to. She was literally suffocating under him and the sheets.

I think the photos were ripped up by Martel Sr or one of his henchman. Judit had dropped a clue where to find them, Martel Jr went out to follow them, but Martel Sr or someone he hired was driving the vehicle which killed Lena (though some say it was Judit!). So whoever knew exactly where they stayed (Martel Sr, Martel Jr or mmmmaybe Judit) had gone in and destroyed the photos (but I think only Martel Sr had the motive).

What's ironic of course is that they left behind the photo of the two strangers standing on the beach, which is the one Lena herself said was the one they was most like them, a pair of lovers stood alone, buffetted by the wind and surf, with only each other for support.
