It is beautiful. Explaining why is a bizarre exercise. Because, I suppose, each of its viewers discovers something special in the story, locations, characters and their portraits, clash behind options, love and social demands, rules of small community, cinematography, honesty and impulses,death as fiction, the burial ritual, need to be correct to the others and about end. A film like a simple confession. Nothing to demonstrate, nothing to convince. So, honest in profound sense.
The courage of vision and the deep honesty are the main virtues of this great film.
Great for be story of love , in its essence, and the paintings/ drawings are the significant clue.
It is a film of interrogation , for few aspects, only a sketch, proposing realistic characters and intense emotions , being equal to itself, choosing a perfect trio - Manolo Cardona -Cristian Mercado -Tatiana Astengo and, in same measure, admirable actors for the supporting roles. To define it as love story is simple but this love has not only a side, the motherhood, the love for husband and his love for the other, the gifts as expressions of love, the love of a mother for the last wish of his son, the love of a venerable lady for the boy who she knows so well, the love of friends and the remorses of a young woman, ignoring the social taboo, the love out of death.
The last can be the most seductive aspects and the beautiful proof of high art of director.
So, a confession to the viewer of a fisherman , father, husband, good man and too/ very closed friend of a painter who discovered him as pair soul.
