Where the Tracks End

Wonderful soulful movie, very worth to watch and think. This movie helps you to think about the events happen around you. The Director ( Ernesto Contreras) chose the dialogue carefully, I think this movie is a success because of such director.

Kid's World , How kids see the world around themselves/ How is the reality around kids ? Rich or Poor kids , they have their own ways to see the world. Rich or Poor kids believe in Magic , They want to reach their own dreams with Magic . Could dreams became Reality (Teacher gave. Jules Verne book to boy )? And Life goes on (The train will leave the station to the next station). You cannot change Past but you can build your Future.

I have not had the blessing to see a movie like this, Spanish or not ( this one has English subtitles available) for a long, long time. The landscapes and photography are amazing, the actors and actresses so natural, engaged and charismatic, and the plot is Universal..." Where the tracks end", was inspired by real events in Mexico in the old 60's, when train wagons were used as schools in some of the poorest rural areas of the country, although the characters and situations in the movie are fiction. The movie talks about the innocence of the first Love, Family, Life twists (sometimes sad, sometimes happy), friendship (yes, including the doggie ones), poverty and injustice, strength and the intrinsec Power of Reading and education... and a wonderful, brave, kind but strict rural Teacher, that will touch and transform lives, and will bring Hope and resilience to her students with all of her heart, specially to the new kid in the village, Ikal, who has to move a lot with his Dad and Mum, because his Dad has a job as a rail track worker, and whose Mum has a life-condition that does not let her work for the sake of her humble family. Even the beloved teacher, Maestra Georgina, has her own secret pain that will empower her, also, to eventually help Ikal's to change his Life forever... Please enjoy it with your family, and make sure that have some popcorn and a box of Kleenex beside you!

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.

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.
