It's a beautiful story about the kid's world, their struggling parents, heavenly childhood, importance of friends, the harsh realities of a makeshift railroad community, and it develops without any hype. Wonderful soulful movie, very worth to watch and think.
This movie reminds me of one of my favorite movie 'Stand by Me'. One of the most impressive Mexican movies I've ever seen.
Their childhood adventure reminds me my childhood, soulful school friends, school bunk, and many other things. This movie also clear my vision and take life easily. All is well.
Thank you Netflix for this amazing movie.

Thank you Netflix for this amazing movie.
A simple tale- of kids, their struggling parents, a sincere teacher, and of the harsh realities of a make shift rail-road community. The story is close to life and brings out the best in the characters, despite poverty and inequities of rural life. It captures the wonder and the joy of growing up with friends. Ikal, the child, is brought back to the school as if by fate, where he had all this amazing time; The school needs him. He also meets his childhood love - and effortlessly slips into his new role as a teacher - something he always wanted to do- inspired by his late teacher Ms Georgina.
The unique thing about the movie is- it captures childhood without any hype. It makes no contrived effort to lead the story to a good end. Above all, it inspires the viewer to see GOOD in people and circumstances.
Inspiring Movie.

Inspiring Movie.
I really enjoyed watching this movie it's filled with what could be real facts which is what makes it sad, what I liked the most of it was how they managed to focus in the good things in the life of a child who was fortunate to have good guidance from his parents and teacher, and I say fortunate because as we see in the movie not all kids had even that. It's sad to think that this happens in real life but I am glad this story made into a platform like Netflix where many people in this world can see it and get a grasp of what life is in different parts of the world and feel inspired to do good, this movie made me realize that what matters is what you give and the good things you leave in peoples hearts, that's what really matters and not material things.
Heart Felt Feel good movie intrinsically directed, casted ,presented, summarized in one and half hour. The Knowledge base, poverty, goodness where it starts, how it overtakes your life in childhood , how it can make and break you, a community living which can absorb or dissolve you, the Teaching profession which can only give, share, enlighten, put you on a track from the start till the end. If you have lived a similar life of struggle, if you gone through migrations, village to towns, if you have lived a life of poverty, hard work at the same time contributed to the imaginary interest of the State, you will like this heartfelt movie...Nice...Watch.
A quite beautiful excerpt from the hard life of Mexican children living in a small town on the frontier ("where the tracks end").
Where they made long-lasting memories, friends and received some very necessary education.. by a wonderful teacher that wanted nothing but the best for her students (seemingly the core of the movie).
As per my understanding, the novel this was adapted from delves into the story in a different manner.. with the "brilliant inspector" Hugo Valenzuela having a more central role in the narrative. A change that might provide more depth into this character, for those interested in getting something more from the source material. As presented, this movie is a very well executed story that is as good as it could hope to be, for what is trying to say. With good cinematography, a great cast and some heartfelt moments.
