I'd like to follow up on Matthew Jacob De Beer, review from August 24,2017.

FORGET the haters and negative Nancy's, you might read here! I just recently found this movie, on a whim and "popped up" out of the blue. Being a HUGE Halloween/Samhain fan and haunter, I had to see what this was about. Mr. De Beer, calls this film 'soulless" and "boring". I have to respond and say, only, a "soulless" person, could say such a thing! On the contrary this movie, has much more "soul", in more than one way. IF, you pay attention to details, there is much foreshadowing.

I found every aspect of it to be fun, whimsy, haunting, captivating, sadness, tearjerker, friendship and desertion, and a sense of a secretive, unspoken, mutual love, with regrets, caught between two friends and,..two worlds. Almost a miracle of sorts for one to reconcile with the other.

This story feels "real"! Who doesn't know, in your own life, the characteristics and personalities of each of the characters here? You can almost envision, people you know, into these characters. The actors were exceptional and talented. I've watched this over and over, already. It is well scripted and directed. A coming of age story enveloping the past, current and future.

Thank you, to ALL who made this movie possible and sharing a well crafted vision, of such a sincere and emotional scope.

I happened to come across this while searching my ROKU for shows. I forget how or why this came across but, I don't know if I can add anything of value, that has not, already been stated. Being, that some, of my ancestors came from Spain and Portugal,I at first, wasn't sure where this was filmed at. At the 10th episode, I figured it out at the end of the shows credits. That prompted me, be inquisitive, to find out more about the Catalan language. I speak English, being in the US, and I do know some German. What confuses me is, there were words that dang near sounded like German. In fact, the use of a German umlaut in the Catalan language confuses me. Is this punctuation correct? I even see not only does a character in the show, have the last name of Grau (grey in German), two the actors also have German last names. Those two being Grösser and Franz. Can anyone explain this being that this part of Spain is in the Eastern section. I do see, when searching the Frence influences as well. My ancestors would have spoken Portuguese and/or proper Spanish. That aside, I think one, pays more attention to foreign TV/shows when it's not a language you understand. Yes, some the English translations/subs are not the best but, the characters do a terrific job with emotions and characters that one can understand. I wish MORE people, would see this show. I wish more people in general would take away these life seasons and take them to heart. You can't watch this show and not get emotional. Europe has always been a head of the US in social "graces". This is a prime example. I don't have to know what the actor/s are always saying, when you can FEEL the emotions. When you've been in similar circumstances as these characters portray, it pulls the heart strings! THIS...IS A MUST SEE show! Thank you to all who make this show what it is!
