Palmiers dans la neige

My only criticism was the poor English dubbing of language, which unfortunately, became laughable at moments, truly damaging the effect...Otherwise? If you pay attention and follow the plot-line, very interesting absorbing romance/drama with historical context and interest.

Palm Trees In The Snow is an extremely well made classic, wherein true love and passion of the central characters has been carefully woven around the last 10-15 years of Spanish colonisation of Bioko in Equatorial Guinea.

It also showcases the selfless and relentless search of the main protagonist, in an absolutely foreign and unfriendly terrain, so that she can deliver justice and bring closure to her departed father and dementia suffering uncle.

All the actors have worked very well. But Berta Vázquez as Bisilia simply stands out. She has displayed a myriad range of emotions with equal ease and conviction.

What a fantastic film with excellent cinematography. A great history lesson too. Beautiful storyline and deeply moving. Thak you so much for this film, I recommend it to EVERYONE.

I loved the role of Mario Casas as Killian but I wish he'd played the role of old Killian himself!

It's a long film but sort of needs the time to get around all that goes on in the film. Slowly worked and well crafted, it's not the same film as the English patient but certainly had that similar feel to it. This film becomes hard to watch at times due to the hardened moments that we see unfold. I didn't know anything about this film prior to just putting it on so it was a nice surprise in enjoy it.
