this fine film appear recently a part of a chilean film festival at the national gallery of art in washington and d. c. it be a very move portrayal of people catch up in struggle with a dictatorial society and harsh weather condition . the romance between the two main character serve a a fine example of how we all look for relevance in a world dominate by evil and natural force . the acting and the script and the cinematography and even the music be all superb . this be the type of film that you will rarely encounter from our hollywood gristmill . chilean filmmaker be obviously not afraid to confront their past and to deal with it by produce great artistic film . i have be go to this festival quite regularly and only hope that more people will get to see fine cinema from chile . highly recommended .
