This movie is 1 hour and 36 minutes long I am 1 hour and 10 minutes into it and I must say they gave it a good shot so we say in trying to tell the story nevertheless something is missing the actors are okay although the bikinis and the semi-nudity seems silly as if these actresses really wanted to show off what they have well I'm not sure the effect was worth it anyway I digress it seemed to be going along the story of the poor dude dying that's not a spoiler because it's the whole idea of the story and there was a kind of stereotypical understanding possible until the stupid sex scene towards the end like dude was so cool and so understanding until he decided last act before he died would be to do it with someone who wasn't his wife while they were all tripping on shrooms so of course she grinned while the other girl bared it but it seemed to disenfranchise the sincerity of the whole thing leaving me not really wanting to see the last 20 minutes, this movie isn't as good as the reviews are making it out to be, it's a sort of could have been good flick, that being said, a dear friend of mine was in a similar circumstance a few years ago and chose the same fate for which I never besmirched him, I get it I get it, but this movie sort of didn't get it right...

This film is a great modern story. There are many morals defined in this film but foremost is integrity and a simple goodness.

The film is wonderfully directed by Arturo Montenegro, the film is his opus and is acted by a great cast on all levels.

A film growing up in yourself. It is so simple to say about it be great, admirable, profound touching or remarkable. But, in obvious manner, it is more than a film. The reasons are many and few from them are only emotions. A beautiful script as the impressive job of these actors, a magnificent Albi De Abreu and a seductive end.

At the first sigh, a film in which you recognise yourself. But it is more, nuanced, precise, help, life meaning, friendship, love and the most profound truth defining yourself and your world. Definitely a must see.

This is a very special film that I saw at the Dallas International Film Festival three days ago and I am still thinking about it. It is so realistic. The movie leaves room for a dialogue afterwards. Which my friends and I did after viewing this film.

What would you do in this situation? I have mixed emotions as to what I would do. Questions unanswered where we can only guess and write our own theories.

This is by far my favorite film by Arturo Montenegro.

If given the opportunity I will see this film again.

It is beautifully acted. The cinematography is beautiful. If you have the chance please go see this film.

This movie is amazing and is all about life and as referred in the situation : suffering is not an option! It was so compelling and so dark and filled with life. It was solid and so well-made, and puts Panama once again, in the running with a great movie!!!!! Not only was the ensemble terrific, the script its so human, but the entire atmosphere of the film flet like these people had spent their lives together. It reflects everything about friendship and life situations!!!! The location is Pedasi in Panama and this was an essential part of the movie protagonist ! Love every part and another aspect : the music!!!!

I saw the premier of this last night and I haven't been able to think about much else. The acting was top notch, realistic to the point that you forget that these are actually actors. The cinematography was beautiful as was the script and especially the dialogue between the characters. The thing that captivated me the most though was the actual theme of the movie. I don't want to give anything away other than to say that this film is done in a way that makes you put yourself in the characters shoes and ask yourself what you would do in their situation. How would you feel? How would you act? How would you deal with this? How deep is your love and your understanding? Absolutely amazing!! Will see this again very soon!!
