I found it odd that at the beginning when Paula shows Raimunda what she's done, she asks her mother "what are you going to do?". She was just raped by a man who she thought was her father but the main issue is what they are going to do with the body. While Raimunda comforts her for a moment, they never really discuss it and Paula soon seems to have 'moved on'. I felt that such a traumatic event would have effected her more than the movie shows. I suspect that this is because the movie is really more about Raimunda and her relationship with her mother than her relationship with her daughter. Paula is somewhat insignificant in that she is still treated like a child and does not really grow at all as the movie progresses.
