Jose Luis M I was surprised about the low quality of this film, because I like the director's previous work. This one feels like a telefilm. It's flat, simple, and predictable. The acting is just average, and the poetic voice in off doesn't gel with the story. Also, most characters are underdeveloped. A waste of time.
