Beautifully shot, tastefully accompanied by its soundtrack, and full of warmth, love, romantics, and human beauty. Fernanda Torres gives an exceptional performance that depicts nearly inhuman strength, composure, and perseverance in the face of hopeless odds under a dictatorial regime. At times it feels crushing, and you as the audience yearn for answers and for a spark of hope. Where is this story going? It is at this particular emotional moment of yours that the film has succeeded in building within you a framework for your empathetic understanding of the characters and their plight. This film is much needed in these times.
The colors, composition, and music were pure beauty. The dialogue was in some places exquisite, but in others on the nose. The emotions were raw and authentic, and the relationship and life issues at hand thought-provoking and complex. The plot itself was relatively simple but did what it needed to do.
