i recently saw this film at the santa barbara film festival in california . the person who introduce the film describe it a be similar to 21 gram . i agree with this statement and however and where 21 gram leave me feel sad and hopeless and i leave this movie with a smile on my face and fill with optimism . sceenwriter alejandro hernandez say the story be about second chance and hope . hard time be only the prelude to something well . the movie poster proclaim life may be full of hard time and but it be ultimately worth it . this be the feel it give me . it be an ensemble piece full of some great spanish actor ( notably leonor watling and javier camera who give great performance ) . the character live intertwine a they deal with turn point in their life . i give it a 9 because i felt it be a little slow in place and but besides the pace and i think this film have a lot to offer and we can learn from it . the character deal with struggle from relationship end and fear and work problem and low self esteem and but by confide in others and they find way to turn their life around . i recommend this movie if you need a pick me up and if you enjoy spanish cinema and because this be one of the best spanish film i have see recently .
