Thanks Carlos

15 August 2001 | by akun (Argentina) – See all my reviews

I've just finished seeing this film, and its just great. Ana Torrent, for her age is amazing! Through the eyes of Ana, i saw death, and sadness.....her childhood is awful and unexpected. We all have been childs....and we know of what Carlos Saura is talking Just Great
