My friend Rico who was the set deginer for this film was very excited over Miriam Colon being the lead for this film. Both Rico and I are New Yorkricans and Miriam Colon was for the longest part of the theater scene in New York. I must confess, every single time I saw Miriam in a scene she absolutely moved me to tears! Boy was I happy the theater was dark! Her delivery was so amazing, the character of Ultima was brought to life with such honesty, compassion and realism I was totally blown away! The period customs and home scenes were absolutely breath taking! I was a young child in Puerto Rico's mid to late 50's. We took trips back to my grandparents who were still at the farm in those days almost every weekend. The scenes of the home, the furnishings, the relationships between each other, the time of harvest at the Luna's farm was like being in a time machine and watching my relations all over again! If you feel like being enchanted, I hope this movies does it for you as it did for me! I love you Miriam Colon! Cast and crew, you rock!!!
