Reviews

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Eduardo Zarate Gonzalez Coming from watching it at the Worldwide Short Film Fest in Toronto. Beautifully shot, this is a melancholic short film that manages to engage and leave a mark difficult to forget.The two main roles are played with sparse dialogs and a touch of quirkiness that however, remains true to the spirit of the characters. But this movie is as much about a dad/daughter story as it is about hopes, intimacy, and impotence. And what really sets the tone of the story is the stage: a scenery that alternates the dreams of childhood and the omnipresent threat of those dreams brutally sand-buried by reality. A threat that, as the synopsis suggests and the movie gradually reveals, is more real where it is more hidden.Great casting, great camera, touching short story.
