Uruguay and movies aren't two words generally associated. In fact, IMDb list only around 50 movies from Uruguay. In 2002, this is 1 of the 4 produced in this little shire, and the Oscar runner. An old locomotive is going to be sold to Hollywood, as usually in the history the cultural patrimony goes from poor countries to the richer ones. The members of the "The rail's friends", an association of old men plain to steal it, rebelling against that patrimony robbery scenario. More romantic than real, sometimes the simple story seems a excuse for filming the old transport medium steaming on the tracks under the sun. Some good performances. Entertaining, yet forgettable. Not bad for a primer job. 6/10.
