A vibrant tableau that's wonderful to appreciate and soak in but can feel painful to watch.

Chicago Reader

Alvaro Delgado Aparicio examines societal notions of masculinity, and how an artistic temperament can be both a vulnerability and a lifeline in a harsh world.

A visually gorgeous movie that follows a family who lives in a conservative village. Impeccable acting all around with a heartbreaking last 20 minutes.

Rated: 4.5/5

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.

Hermosa y conmovedora. Muestra el crudo conservadurismo de los Andes, el machismo, la intolerancia y la homofobia.
