Where the Tracks end

This film portrayes life in a simple, realistic and moving way.

It is a beautiful story about the importance of teaching, and it develops without oversensitive tricks.

It might seem simple but it is this simplicity which makes it realistic and captivating.

In the movie there are deaths and difficulties which are part of real life, and it shows how characters adapt and deal with life without heroic events.

What is heroic is, as Mrs. Georgina says, "life a good life", and I ended up crying at the end, with some characters leading a good life, others dying too young, and others having the courage to change and do something meaningful.

Highly recommeded, specially if you can see it in the original Spanish version.

A simple tale- of kids, their struggling parents, a sincere teacher, and of the harsh realities of a make shift rail-road community. The story is close to life and brings out the best in the characters, despite poverty and inequities of rural life. It captures the wonder and the joy of growing up with friends. Ikal, the child, is brought back to the school as if by fate, where he had all this amazing time; The school needs him. He also meets his childhood love - and effortlessly slips into his new role as a teacher - something he always wanted to do- inspired by his late teacher Ms Georgina.

The unique thing about the movie is- it captures childhood without any hype. It makes no contrived effort to lead the story to a good end. Above all, it inspires the viewer to see GOOD in people and circumstances.

Inspiring Movie.

It's much more than a cute film, about a simple childhood and the importance of friends, it portrays a harsh capitalist reality (a necessary evil)... Education sets you free, teaching is an act of passion, teachers should be overrated, we, workers we are replaceable... So beautiful and so sad, it moves us and leaves our hearts tight, in the same proportion that it leaves our hearts warm... A beautiful film with a passionate ending, I cried a lot...

At a school in rural Mexico, teacher Georgina is determined to make a difference in the lives of the bright young students she educates in a classroom converted from a train car.

It's a beautiful story about the kid's world, their struggling parents, heavenly childhood, importance of friends, the harsh realities of a makeshift railroad community, and it develops without any hype. Wonderful soulful movie, very worth to watch and think.

This movie reminds me of one of my favorite movie 'Stand by Me'. One of the most impressive Mexican movies I've ever seen.

Their childhood adventure reminds me my childhood, soulful school friends, school bunk, and many other things. This movie also clear my vision and take life easily. All is well.

Thank you Netflix for this amazing movie.

Heart Felt Feel good movie intrinsically directed, casted ,presented, summarized in one and half hour. The Knowledge base, poverty, goodness where it starts, how it overtakes your life in childhood , how it can make and break you, a community living which can absorb or dissolve you, the Teaching profession which can only give, share, enlighten, put you on a track from the start till the end. If you have lived a similar life of struggle, if you gone through migrations, village to towns, if you have lived a life of poverty, hard work at the same time contributed to the imaginary interest of the State, you will like this heartfelt movie...Nice...Watch.
