    Unbalanced but important

    Not a bad movie, but deffinitely an unbalanced one. Cinematography and art direction are excellent, the text is also good, and the story is important. The movie improves but begins a little boring, confused, without life. Acting is irregular - Flávio Migliaccio is perfect, Jacqueline Laurence has good moments but also unconvincing ones, Emilio Orciollo does well, but not all actors are in the same level. I believe there is a direction problem.
