Slow, but good drama

Natalia and Elene are two Argentinian sisters that had to go out of their country due to the dictatorship. Now (1984), after lots of years apart, they meet in Texas, where Elena lives. There, they will meet new people and old phantoms. As the wounds from the past are still open. The film is touching and is is done with good tune. The characters of the two sister are well build and the story is interesting, in the style of Coixet's films, where everything is hard and moving. Its main bad part is the fact that during the first hour almost nothing happens but the meeting of the two sisters, it develops slowly and it bores a little. After that, when Pandora's box is open, the real movie begins and we can enjoy 45 minutes of good cinema. Bad luck for the first part, but the drama is well set. With a little more of something at the beginning could have been much better, the result is just correct, despite the good second part.
