OK..I finally got to watch this movie and it truly impressed me. The fact that Yotama starts with some violence and inspiring not much sympathy for the protagonist and ends with a mixture of feelings (understanding, forgiving,caring, loving, etc) is simply a sign of great direction, play writing, and acting...I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes good movies...this is not a big budgeted movie, but it truly conveys the essential factors all good movies have in order to entertain, educate, and reflect society as it is...

Congrats to all involved.

"Yotama" is not a simple plot about a common kidnapping after a failed attempt to rob a crowded restaurant in the fascinating Caracas.

The story leads us to a a charming story of seclusion of five people affected by the fact that one of the robbers gang, Yotama, named after the symbolic Spanish words of "Yo te Amo", succeeded to be freed after the intervention of the local police, and becomes a "member" of a tight family who lives in the hills of Caracas.

The counteraction of the well depicted characters is a well elaborated context of a story masterly depicted in sound, credible personages well designed in the plot written by the film director, Luis Armando Roche.

The rest of the story leads us to an ending which is only not a surprising discovery of a deep love between the "abuelo" Pepé (Asdrúbal Meléndez) and Yotama (Beatriz Vázquez) but a final achievement of surprisingly events, all of which reveals a master conduction by Mr. Roche who has produced such an intelligent film. "Yotama" qualifies as a masterwork in the brilliant filmography of Mr. Roche as well as an unusual love story.

I am very pleased to find a credit given to my GOOD friend Martha Tarazona in this site. Martha (who plays "Lucia" in this movie) and I went to same acting school in Caracas and shared many good memories of the good old days!...I have not seen her in many years and was always wondering whatever happened to her. It's a pleasant surprise to know about this movie and her role in it. Knowing Mr. Roche's style in movie making (I have seen other movies made by him) and having a cast so talented (including Edgard Ramirez and my sweet friend Martha) I have NO DOUBT this movie is a MUST TO SEE. Now that I am also in my own projects (just finished a movie here in the US called SHADOWLAND)I will do my best to find this movie and watch it. Congrats to all my 'paisanos' in this movie and hopefully I'll hear from Martha soon. Please feel free to check my credits in this site under "Carlos Leon (III)"

Thanks!
