10/30/2021 It's tale with optimism, pessimism, surrealism and what is the flaw of the movie is that the good direction couldn't make fits nothing at all. 4/10 See more 08/10/2012 is an engaging film for being unpretentious - a drama is taken lightly. has with many funny moments. See more 07/01/2012 An interesting sociopolitical satirical commentary in the form of Bunuel. Almost a cuban Animal Farm, this light-hearted comedy uses a messy bus terminal of uncertain escape as a backdrop for many transiting folks with different destinations, hopes and desires. the common dream sequence was nicely done, as were the funny sidetracks like feasting on spam, cats & lobsters... See more 07/01/2012 dreams and reality often do not collide... but in desperate situations, perhaps a sweet dream can surface and present new opportunities. how many of us give in to the daily toil? See more 06/04/2011 "Liste d'attente" "Lista de espera" See more 11/12/2010 I loved this movie! I was engaged with the characters right from the start and surprised at the ending.
