Cuerdas

According to what I had read, this movie is one of those typical ones that teachers in all schools show, something that surprised me to learn that it was nominated for so many awards, and even supposedly won a Guinness Record for being the most awarded film of 2019, but well, the thing itself is the movie, and I can only say that it is beautiful, as well as the animation, and the story with which I came to identify in such a way that I almost started to cry remembering my story in elementary school.

It turns out that despite the mistreatment I got to receive at that stage, I had a classmate who suffered from a disability similar to the boy in the film, and which did not understand why it was hard for him to do certain things that for an average human being were something of everyday, because I was about 8 or 9 years old at the time. The thing was a few years after I had finished elementary school, and I was wanting to remember things about the classmates I had in there, more than anything about that boy in particular, and I found out the bad news. He had left this world years ago, I kept silent because I knew my mother was not going to be interested in those people's lives, because it had happened before.

But well, beautiful movie, and beautiful everything.

I cried! Thank you for producing such a beautiful short movie. The little friend I watched it with ran to her mum (who hadn't watched it) in the end and begged her to watch it again with her!

First, I do not speak a word of Spanish. This film needs no spoken language at all to understand. It is so precious! The story resonates with many, many people who have loved ones who are disabled and the special people who befriend them. I would love to meet the director. Rarely does something impact me like this film did. The story can be carried over into many areas, but of course the special needs community will be especially drawn to it.

Not only is the story written well, the animation is perfect and the colors are vivid. I was thrilled when I heard that it had won the Goya award for the "best Spanish Short Film Animation". So well deserved.

It can be defined as lovely, beautiful, great, impressive, moving. But, for me, it is just special. For each aspect. For entire story. For great animation details. For the wise manner to reflect the childhood essence. For the portrait of teacher . reminding, in nice way, the roots of the choice. For grace and games and profound delicacy. And for something escaping to the words. A special, special, special short animation. Useful in profound sense.

This was an incredibly beautiful and moving piece. The language is Spanish, but one does not have to understand Spanish to fully appreciate this masterpiece.

This is a story about a little boy with serious physical limitations and the little girl who showed him how to experience the world he had been denied. The boy arrives at school and is shunned or ignored by all the children except one Maria. Maria befriends him and uses her imagination and love to give him the gift of fun and humanity.

The animation is so well done that the characters are humanized. Maria is so very charming and wise, but still such a little girl.

The film won the 2014 Goya award for best short film animation.
