    Deeply touching

    Was blown away by this movie, the story stuck with me for days. Loved the slow and intense pace it had. The acting is done so incredible well. Beautiful scenery. Excellent, am recommending it to all my friends, make sure you have tissues ready.

    The Spanish will save the art of cinema.

    I have no words. This film truly is a masterpiece.

    Astonishing film. Incredible well done in every technical aspect. Probably the best "Netflix" release this year. Left me a sad boy. Need to call my mom right now.

    Back to the roots

    Forgivnes and acceptance. Despite all we do in life there are only two certain things: we are born and we die. And between these two points there is only one person enough attached to us, mother. You can judge parents actions towards kids, but you cannot replace them ever. A must see one.

    A slow-moving and downbeat film with nice interpretations from Barbara Lennie and Susi Sanchez

    An upper-class woman called Anabel : Susi Sanchez, living luckly with his husband and daughter : Greta Fernandez who is actually daughter of actor Eduard Fernandez , while preparing a dinner to wealthy people meets her daughter Chiara, Barbara Lennie, whom she had abondoned long time ago. As Anabel left to her and to his previous husband : Richard Bohringer, over 30 years ago, to marry another rich man : Miguel Angel Sola'. After a failed attempt by the marriage to give Chiara money that she subsequently refuses, then the latter asks for a rare request : to spend Anabel and Chiara get together at their previous home where she lived . As they go by car to the French Pyrinees to a little location in the mountains . Along the way, Anabel attempts to know the reason for the strange beheaving of Chiara who is usually drunk, killing a dove, injuring a dog and other weird conducts.

    This is an intense drama plenty of moving scenes and strange happenings . An interesting film but pretty dull and a little bit boring. Being painly tiring and slow moving, though made with credibility and adequate style. It is a brooding and thoughtful film with an unexpected and surprising ending.

    It packs a colorful and evocative cinematography by Ricardo De Gracia, shot on location in Montseny, Barcelona, Andorra, French Pyrinees , Mars de Mollo, La Preste, France. As well as atmospheric and appropriate musical score by Nino Casal. The motion picture was professionally directed by Ramon Salazar, thouh it results to be dull . Ramon is a good writer and director, as he has written successful films as 30 metros sobre el cielo, Tengo ganas de ti, Amnesia. Salazar is ha craftsman who directed provoking and stirring films suc as : 10.000 noches en ninguna parte, 20 centimetros and his best one : Piedras or Stones. Rating 5.5/10. Passable and acceptable.
