Criticism

" ... Because there are so many emotions in her face, in her heart. And that can not be described with words. But what the actress has felt at the moment is that life has taught her many things. Lets the youth behind them, and they bebinnt to grow up to face the life. It opens towards life. Life is not just happy or sad. [ ... ] Larita learns that one must fight for his dream And it is not important that you reach him. What matters is that you fight. ... " Fernando Pérez

" Also, the second feature film by Fernando Pérez plays against the backdrop of the Batista dictatorship and the resistance of young people. The focus, however, is the story of a double discovery. The high-school graduate Lara explores the literature and falls in love with Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, which her ​​boyfriend may not understand. At the same time it collides with the harsh social conditions of the Batista regime and learns to better assess their own abilities. Fernando Pérez portrays this with great sensitivity he has shown in the representation of young people in all his films. " Peter B. Schumann
