A footbridge divides Argentina and Paraguay. Guarani and Spanish float in the air. People run around trafficking all things imaginable. I met Ángel (9) in the midst of this dizzying pace and when I heard him speak, I was so moved that I promised to visit him again. A year later, I came back and we started making a film together. After ten years, the passage from childhood to adolescence unfolds in these images surrounded by a unique strength to live and to resist against everything.

9/10
As the years pass, the relationship between director and protagonist becomes invisible to the camera, but it's everywhere: in the silences, the laughter, the angry messages. That trust—fragile and rare—sustains the story. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Aug 4

Rarely has cinema achieved such closeness, such alchemy, to create a passionate and extraordinary story where there seems to be only drab existence and social degradation. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine May 8
