Cuerdas

It was a good short movie but the end suppose to be happy to give some hope for those category of people

This was an incredibly beautiful and moving piece. The language is Spanish, but one does not have to understand Spanish to fully appreciate this masterpiece.

This is a story about a little boy with serious physical limitations and the little girl who showed him how to experience the world he had been denied. The boy arrives at school and is shunned or ignored by all the children except one Maria. Maria befriends him and uses her imagination and love to give him the gift of fun and humanity.

The animation is so well done that the characters are humanized. Maria is so very charming and wise, but still such a little girl.

The film won the 2014 Goya award for best short film animation.

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.

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!

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.
