REVIEW
“A moving portrayal of vulnerability and everyday life from a growing perspective. Joaquín lends us his eyes, helps us shift our ideas, and touches our hearts because, in the end, there is nothing more human than emotions and their exploration.”
– Verónica Salazar ”¿Hay que matar al padre?”, Canaguaro
