the beginning of the film and be kind a slow and but be not annoy . it doesn not last so long and so you do not get tire . what the movie say be the hard side of life and and there aren not many movie that show it the way zambrano do . be sad that solas and todo sobre mi madre have such a strong competition . for the goya and for the oscar . be sad spain couldn not present both . they would probably leave the shrine with an ex aequo award . the character of solas be very well write and definite . the huge heart of rosa ( the mother ) . and the also big heart but with more bad mood heart of maría . a lady that seem to give up and until she understand that it could be even bad . the movie make you feel lucky in some way . and be sad to think that many people be have such similar problem and and be so horrible to think that there be million of people out there that wish at least have the house maria have . so benito zambrano have show u a hard side of life and but not the bad .
