Reviews
" Quiero ser ' is a real, moving tragedy of poverty, an unusually sensitive study about trust and betrayal, incisively told and full of great emotions. The story is gripping consequence of very close and developed with two children. There are no wrong notes, but a remarkable intensity and density. The excellent acting by the children and the great camera work dismiss the audience affected by the issue and enthusiastic about the execution of this film. "
