criticism
“... There are a lot of feelings, on her face, on the inside. And that cannot be described in words. But what the actress felt at the moment is that life taught her a lot of things. It leaves the youth behind and it begins to grow up, to face life. It opens up to life. Life is not all happy or sad. [...] Larita learns that you have to fight for your dream- And it is not important that you achieve it. What matters is that you fought. ... “Fernando Pérez
“Fernando Pérez's second feature film also takes place against the backdrop of the Batista dictatorship and youth resistance. At the center, however, is the story of a double discovery. The high school graduate Lara explores literature and falls in love with Hemingway's 'The Old Man and the Sea', which her boyfriend cannot understand at all. At the same time, she collides with the harsh social conditions of the Batista regime and learns to better assess her own abilities. Fernando Pérez describes this with the great sensitivity that he has shown when portraying young people in all of his films. "Peter B. Schumann
