Cuerdas

This is a story of ultimate kindness as a little girl named Maria befriends a little boy who is confined to a wheelchair. He is very ill and is shunned by other children, but she gives him her time and her love. She uses strings to move his arms and legs when he can't and revels in any small accomplishment. I think what I remember the most are the expressions on the faces of the children. There is nothing phony or maudlin about this film. it is story of true love.

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.

Cuerdas is the best animated short film I have ever seen and it fully deserves every award in its class. Pedro Solis' beautiful story and characters ignite the heart in the most inspiring ways possible. Cuerdas answers today's most important questions about love and its eternal heart. I found the film to be very spiritual and non-religious. As a follower of Christ, I felt like the young characters showed us why Jesus said that we must "be humble like these little children" to find our way into Heaven. I want to buy it but did not see it on Amazon. I hope they will make it available as soon as possible. Every person on the planet needs to see, enjoy, and be moved by this piece. I'm following Cuerdas on Facebook and I'm @casandratweets. Would love to share with everyone when I am able to purchase it too.

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.
