Daniel W Powerful. Heart breaking. Elicits a self introspective analysis of what is morality and its association with cultural and societal values, paternal love at the core of these issues. Very well acted. Very well directed. So glad I watched. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Luis M. D Buena película peruana! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Lucia A Hermosa y conmovedora. Muestra el crudo conservadurismo de los Andes, el machismo, la intolerancia y la homofobia.
