The evolution of the plot and the psychology of the characters are developed with a perfect progression, which results in something almost imperceptible, subtle and harmonious. [Full Review in Spanish]

Brushes close to offensive material, but it has an unexpected sweetness and skill that keeps it from toppling over the edge.
