CGiii Comment

Staggering, heartbreaking, realistic - sensational film-making.

Joselito Altarejos has broken down some mightily established the boundaries...

This is a story that will shatter the hardest of hearts - told with a truth that is all too rare in film.

Quite possibly...as close to a modern masterpiece as you can get!
