    nice movie!

    Hello, I really like the movie. When I see it I start to cry..I like Argentina the most! this pictures at the movie are amazing!!! The music is so good! I would like to see more movies like it. It is the kind of movie that the people in general will love, it is sweet and deep. I personally think that it is for all the people who are searching for spiritual paths. It is interesting how the director presents the Zen philosophy and at the same time the real life! I feel motivated to spread the spiritual paths, I would like to thank the director for this movie. Thanks again! I hope this movie can touch your heart! I'm grateful to all of you who make this movie...

    A wonderful piece of art!

    Hi Diego Rafecas, I Want to tell you that I liked the movie a lot and that it made me find my own way,congratulations!.I am 17 years old and while I was watching the movie I could find many things in common with the main character.I was moved during the whole movie and I cried.Maybe young people finds it difficult to express their experiences and their spiritual ideologies, that's why I consider this movie to be a starting point to show the world how I am and what I want to be tomorrow.Thank you very much for this excellent movie . It brings us many positive things to our life,especially it gives us hope for the future.I must say that this film stands out from the rest!.

    Kind regards

    The true lies within the self

    To be honest, I went to the cinema with doubts. The previews weren't well combined and didn't provide much info about the movie. However, my surprise when I saw it was more than pleasant, because the idea is more than original and it shows not a big truth, but THE truth. It's the story of a young Buddhist who is searching for something beyond this reality, beyond this coexistence system, and he challenges even death itself only for pursuing his goal. A total opposite to his brother, who is a philosopher and very rational, which makes a little difficult the life together between them. After some comings and goings, our main character learns something "beyond" what it is to live intensely and his skeptical brother learns something more about what it is to live intensely.

    Excellent Movie with lots of zen teachings

    The first movie from a young director, with a low budget but plenty of art and style, filled with poetry, sincere emotions and simple but true zen teachings. I takes place in Argentina, a country where eastern culture has a small place on its culture and it's often not understood. It shows us the simple things in life, the things that really matter in a simple but not naive way. The two cultures (eastern and western) "comfront" each other in the main characters which happen to be brothers. And each of them learn things from the other. It's great that there are people that care about these things enough to make a movie. See it, you won't regret it.

    Very good movie!

    Very good movie, excellent acting of the two brothers, I like the story of the movie and the rhythm it has. Congratulations to Diego Rafecas, it is the first Argentine movie that touched me. Apart from this, the music is amazing. The photography is out of this world.It shows you what is the real meaning of life. I think that this kind of movies is needed in this days because is not wasting of time, is special for that person who are searching about spiritual paths...this is the beginning of it. I like it a lot. The message it conveys leads you to reflect about many things. Thanks for giving us a different kind of film. This movie makes you to think, cry, laugh and enjoy...
