In the film De eso no se habla (I don't want to talk about it) there are a lot of complexities involved with the people who surround this young dwarf. The main protagonists are a young dwarf named Charlotte who desires to be recognized as a normal individual, a controlling mother named Leonor who shelters Charlotte from the real world, and a well educated man named Ludovico whose travels and love experiences have put him in a slump for true love and contentment. Although Charlotte is a dwarf she does not let it affect her and truly lives by her own beliefs and satisfactions. Those around her feel the need to be a part of her life and help her through her struggles. In the end, Charlotte breaks free from the grip of others and chooses how she wants to live her life.
It's a little difficult to distinguish this film as Argentinean other than the Spanish language and more European looking people. Latin America is portrayed through traditional architecture and vibrant colors. The cinematography is set up like a Hollywood film in the sense that it is a kind of film that Americans are used to seeing. Although some parts are misinterpreted, the director gets the message across that we are all the same, human alike, and therefore must do what makes us happy.
If you are interested in Latin American films or wanting to widen you horizon, then this is a film that will peak your interest and remind you how to dream.
