To F Tienes sus buenas escenas y la trama se va desarrollando adecuadamente para no aburrirte.

Ariaza how is Mexican but easily pass by Chilean. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie represents all that is Chile quite beautifully--the good, the bad, the ugly, the pathetic, the absurd, and that which is worth being proud of.
