En Filme

Ernesto Contreras's talent is undeniable, but this film lacks of cohesion, pace and harmony; it's like trying to make a puzzle out of pieces that don't fit. [Full review in Spanish]

One of the best mexican movies in the last years, you can feel all the passion of the actors and I love the environment because are stories from nobody that could fit with everybody. I recommend it.
