A Beautifully Done Movie, 9 November 2000
Author: Robert Vann Smith (robertvannsmith@hotmail.com) from Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

It was about a year or so after the release of this movie before I was able to see it. It's amazing how the human spirit can survive, no matter where this body of our's lives. The scenery was beautiful and the story line was wonderfully done.

The two brothers that played "Lazaro" (Alessandro And Marcelo Rabelo) do a remarkable job playing "Lazaro" at two different ages. I can see why they casting director chose both of them. Remarkably, they favor each other very much.
