Featured review
I really liked it!, if you like Latin American movies you'll like this one. It's not a soap opera at all. It's a very realistic story and very well told, at the same time it's not boring either.
All the actors are very good, and the different types of characters make it very bearable. It deals with a very interesting and important topic. A teacher who is very faithful to his work and with a lot of personality and humanity realizes that the reality at the school where he teaches is very different from what he might have expected. His students are all pubertal, an age that can be problematic and even more so in a poor neighborhood in Argentina. The teacher's relationship with his father is very well told and gives the film a good emotional touch.
I love the Argentine accent, it has a dance in the tone that makes my soul happy.
Well...I recommend it.
