After the many praises here I honestly have to tell that this movie IMHO is somewhat a let down.
The first 45-50 minutes of the movie felt like it should have been 10 maybe 15 minutes. The second half is actually the movie itself for wich the preparation took too long.
I don't know the book it was based on, maybe it didn't offer enough material for a full movie or maybe it couldn't be interpreted well enough.
I'd say it's still worth watching but so far this is my least favourite of the Isbert movies. I'd much rather suggest Calabuch, Bienvenido Mister Marshall or Verdugo if you haven't seen those yet...
