Masterpiece. Gritty hard-hitting realistic fiction with amazing irony, juxtaposition and analogies depicting the current drug war/human slavery/Maras Salvatruchas situation.

Simple, yet excellent film. No good guys or bad guys only victims perpetuating each others misery. I found optimism in the experience of Sabina in that now we see what is wrong. In the 50 states this might take a bit longer, still drunk and haven't hit the hangover stage yet.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Excelente muestra de la cruel realidad de los inmigrantes centroamericanos quienes se balancean entre la pobreza y el olvido de sus gobiernos y la corrupción, las drogas, prostitución y violencia de la sociedad actual. Todo reunido en una sencilla y desgarradora historia de una hermosa niña.
