The movie is like a cinematic poem. It is beautiful with appropriate surrealistic effects to maintain the mood of the dialogue. The plot is well implemented. If you like movies that speak to your artistic side and to your contemplative side then this movie is for you. I want to buy it. There is alot said about living life.

This is a touching coming of age story which Antonio Banderas gave a sensitive reading to. It's a shame that the American public did not appreciate or possibly even view this film which shows a deep sensitivity and problems youth faces in trying to come to grips. I liked it very much and it shows an interesting slice of life. Also, good casting with Victoria Abril-too bad Antonio did not appear in the film, as well.

It would have been good to know this was in spanish without subtitles. Expected a lot more out of Antonio on this, he should stick to acting, terribly directed and edited.
