I didn't put 5 stars because that is "absolutly must see", and no, this movie is not for everyone. It is difficult, because it faces us with our own mortality and that of the ones we love. It does not manipulate feelings, it is just hard. Even though the protegonist, María, never looses her sense of humour. It is also a plee for eutanasia. I hope when I die, I have the dignity María had.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
