    A great piece of crap!! An extremely awfully made mexican movie composed by three boring and not interesting stories about kids looking for something else across a body of water. A great idea ruined by a more than poor and hideous execution. Awful performances and an awful screen...( read more)play. The only nice thing about it is the presence of Martha Higareda as a beautiful princess at the beginning of the movie. Otherwise, AWFUL AND BORING!

    58/100

    Muy buena pelicula la trama basada en los conflictos de personas tan diferentes pero que comparten la misma problematica de pasar al "otro lado" es un elemento que no habia visto tan claro en un cine y el filme lo lleva a cabo satisfactoriamente
