10/10
Very Nice Film From The Andes!
23 February 2021
This film not only has a demonstration of the beauty and color of a culture that has existed for centuries in the confines of the Andes. The story between Noe, a craftsman retablista who begins to train his son to dedicate himself to the same thing, brought a lot of interest in knowing how this plot was going to develop. And if it is true as they say in the previous reviews, sometimes the film begins to take a slow and not very expressive path, but in my opinion what rescued was the exclusive relationship between a father who, knowing himself bisexual and feeling attracted to other men, was quite difficult to accept in a community as closed as this country, especially in these hidden places where ignorance and poverty are the greatest stigmas. However, Segundo (son of Noe) at first felt a little angry and frustrated when discovering the "immoral" acts of his father, his heart dictated him stay with him to protect him and take care of him despite his father's depression when he did not want to get ahead for the "sin" committed. In reality, the story is very particular and worthy of understanding and applying for those who do not end up accepting and being compassionate with others. The love that Segundo felt for his father was greater than everything else and that is worthy of admiration!
