It's hard to understand where the director Shaky González and his production company Wise Guys Productions want to go with this short film production.
The film is visually strong in its modern way but the plot is unbearably thin. It's nothing else than 40 minutes of ongoing salsa music accompanied by strong colors.
Obviously, the director and his crew hasn't got the finest idea of how to pull out just a bit of reality. The director has forgotten about the actors, (as in "Angel of Night"), they have to give it a try for themselves, but it just doesn't work at all.
