I can't believe I never heard of this flick. I love true stories of people fighting against all odds to rise from the ashes, but this baby is in a league of it's own. Absolutely brilliant story, acting, cinematography, locations. This is poetry put to film. And the fact that it's a true story makes it even better.
I especially liked the scenes of the dad and Noelia coming together, walking on the beach (albeit with a metal detector), dancing in the moonlight, that's how you do romantic scenes.
And I totally agree with the other reviewers who say this movie would have been butchered by Disney or any other Hollywood zombie producer.
Why this didn't win an oscar for best foreign film is beyond me.
score 10/10
