For all the NON-TECHNICAL SO-CALLED FILM CRITICS. This movie was excellent. I love emotional attachment movies that provoke real emotions. This tells the reality of thousands of people left to die in a cold non-loving Mental nursing home. The new nurse (MED-STUDENT) makes a real connection with an aging dying man whom she finds out was a famous Cuban Musician. She goes outside the guidelines to bring him some kind of forgotten normalcy from a world he forgot due to dementia and Alzheimer's. Though this she also finds herself as does her aunt whom she lives with. I have been to Mental nursing homes that are cold, un-caring on a personal level and just go through the motions until the patient dies. Is sad and tragic reality. No dignity, and apparently no love form family members who cannot or choose not to care for them anymore. I thought the music was excellent, the acting very good, I could care less about the lighting or film angles, it was the story i enjoyed. Please don't be harsh about this movie. It should be getting better rating. Louis Gossett dies a great job being a Patient. Would you rather live out he end of your life in joyous memories or in a cold un-loving darkness?
