Author: rmaldo01 from Medford, MA

A terrific, funny, and poignant film lead by wonderful performances from William Marquez and Miriam Colon. Great cinematography, music, and script. I hope that this movie makes it to commercial distribution. The film makers paid great attention in portraying the characters, they seem struggle to speak and live, unlike many characters in many Hollywood films. Finally, a film with no stereotypes, just about people confronting extraordinary events in every day life. Not just a "Latino film" but an American film with so much power.
