“Si militas y crees en algo, eres feliz” ~ “If you fight for and believe in something, you are happy” said director Benjamín Ávila about the film. As much as it is a film about deep suffering, it is also a film about joy. Although the dark moments far outnumber the happy ones, the few blissful moments the characters share feel eternal.
