Continuity: As Cristina walks into Juan Antonio's house for the first time, she is wearing a white blouse with long sleeves. As we first see her, one sleeve (the viewer's left) is three-quarters length and the other is rolled up at the elbow. After a very slight scene shift, but with no time passing, we see Cristina with both sleeves rolled up. (more)
