Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa A hybrid of documentary and fiction, the film combines the stories of five individuals into an admirably coherent whole. Aug 17, 2020 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film The characters may be variously plagued by debt, illness and emotional strain but they also prove there is conoslation in friendship and that a single shared chocolate can be more important and touching than a thousand words. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 12, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

antti p A Moldavian wrestler, a nurse from Philippines, an organic farmer, an elderly prostitute and even elderlier native Catalanian, the half documentary, half fiction film follows these 5 people playing themselves, trying to fight to stay alive in the outskirts of Barcelona during the hot summer. And the life is hard. The most beautiful and yet most sad scene is when the 88-year-old unwraps a chocolate she got from the nurse and takes the first bite, like the best thing she has ever tasted. So not too happy a film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
