Compelling and unforgettable
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Um belo retrato do espírito de solidariedade e heroísmo que o homem urbanizado parece ter perdido ao longo dos séculos.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Watching this incredible drama unfold on the screen is an awesome experience.
