I saw this movie yesterday in Berlin - and was truly and pleasantly surprised. Considering, that this is the first movie made in Nicaragua in 20 years, I was expecting this lack of experience and critical mass to show more. It did not.
The story is simple: Yuma, is a young Nicaraguan woman, living in one of Managua's gang-infested barrios, with her four siblings, a parasite step-father and a mother, who would never win a parent of the year award.
Yuma sees female boxing as a ticket out out for both her and her younger siblings..
When she falls in love with a journalism Student form the Catholic University of Managua, her life becomes, well, complicated.....
This movie is worth seeing for the description of life in a Central American slum, the humor, and a story full of real life.

Some months ago we saw a trailer for this movie on TV. My five-year old son sat up, looked at the short film and proclaimed, that he wanted to see this movie.
Since then he has often asked, when the movie would be shown here in Berlin. Yesterday it was finally shown, as part of retrospective of Latin films.
The plot, that an old engine driver has to team up with a young boy to save a steam engine from being taken out of the country is such, that a child can understand it. He basically loved it - judging from his reactions and the amount he has talked about it since then.
I cannot add a lot to the very positive comments by other users. Just say that this is a good dad-son film.
Edit: Half a year later I finally managed to get the DVD, which son must have seen 20 times, at least. The film started him on two tracks: 1) He is interested in learning Spanish and asks what different words are called in Spanish.
2) More importantly, he has also wondered about legality and morals. We have had a few discussions about how some acts may be illegal, but still the right thing to do.
All in all - on the basis of the discussions we had about the movie - it is the best film we have seen together.

So many reviewers here have already given this movie its due. It IS funny, excellent, touching - and some more. I saw it twice - the second time I took my 13-year old daughter along. It was an excellent way of giving her a feel of what the division of Europe really felt like and what happened after the fall of the wall. She loved the movie, laughed, cried and sighed and afterwards we did actually talk quite a bit about this period of history: So - if you would like to stuff a little bit of history into your kids head, without the kid realizing that he or she is actually having a history lesson, this movie is highly recommended.
