User Reviews

you are wrong

The movie was shot in both languages (Spanish and Galician). It is a decision of the cinema to use one or the other. Unfortunately most cinemas opted for the Spanish option because it attracted more audience. Don't blame the director for that. By the way Anton Reixa is not a rich producer.
