Audience Member Un acertado acercamiento al problema de la inmigración, con un guión algo previsible. Cansa un poco la moda de la cámara en mano tan agitada, tipo reportero. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Una lastima que no haya dado mucha difusion de esta peli, con un tema de actualidad, de interes para Espana principalmente, pero sobre todo un tema humano y conmovedor. Me encanto. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
