    A conventional Funny Film

    This Kind of Mexican Marcelino Pan y Vino was starring for the little and ephemeral actress Maria Gracia in hands of the Rodriguez Brothers, specialist in direct children(chachita,la tucita,even their relatives Pepito and Titina)this time Roberto Rodriguez took advance of the Mexican devotion and released this movie in December a month full of religious festivities specially 12th virgin's Day With Roberto Rodriguez directing maybe the most capable of the Rodriguez Brothers to work with children and with the pastoral environment result effective for example every attempt of the little girl to avoid going to school, even her pleas to the virgin, result funny Rodriguez got a very conventional movie but not boring
    8joey-rodriguez

    Regardless of nationality, a great film.

    This is truly a gem in Mexican film making. Maria Gracia captures our sympathy since the opening credits, the movie can be too tender at times but it does not make it unreal. The fairy-tale like environment, music and script make this a fun and reassuring family film.

    This movie is about a little girl that lost her parents and is being raised by her grandmother and her caretaker, a middle age man that also watches the old lady's poor farm.

    Marita, as the little girl is named, does not have a care in the world. She loves collecting critters that make everyone else disgusted, this just shows her love for life. Her faith and love for her grandmother and friend take her on an adventure that touches the heart and make you feel good even a few hours after the television is turned off.

    • Quotes

      Narrator: The beauty and sincerity of a child's faith are perhaps the only merits of this story, but that is precisely why I think you will like it. It is a simple story, yes, but one that for a few short moments will take us from our world of trials and tribulations, to one of peace, love, tenderness.

      New scenes and narration by Hugh Downs added to US version.
