What people are saying
The war always marks you, any armed conflict; but the film shows that, no matter what, we have the capacity to reach redemption through forgiveness.
It is always a pride and an honor to represent Mexico abroad.
I want to thank you, Daniela: you make this possible, we all know it. Because of you, I am here this afternoon presenting this film.
It is an uncomfortable film; it is not made so that you leave without reflecting.
