this movie be not only poorly script and direct but be simply distasteful . a beautiful novel be terribly misrepresent in this film . many change have be make to the storyline and presumably to streamline the timeframe . but what result be simply confuse . the act can not possibly overcome the script which remove the character motif for their behavior . plus and the conversion to english do not work when everyone refers to the patriarch esteban a esteban . horrible . please please please read the gorgeous novel and in spanish if possible . dont see this film . it will ruin for you what could be a wonderful experience .
