With one foot on fiction and other in reality, this is a documentary style road movie that follows a group of women on religious pilgrimage to Fátima.
It is certainly a very raw and interesting experience, resulting from a bold choice of putting all the actresses through the real ordeal. Dialogues and situations are super convincing and the cast (lead by the impeccable Rita Blanco) does a great job.
As the movie progresses, things get a little tense and more interesting. Sometimes I felt we were only catching bits and pieces, since the struggles were all too real and you can't film everything. Maybe that was the whole point, but I think director Canijo should have given a little more structure and narrative.
Of all Fátima's related films out there (and there are way more than it should) this is definitely the best, and not even about faith.
