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.
Cuerdas is the best animated short film I have ever seen and it fully deserves every award in its class. Pedro Solis' beautiful story and characters ignite the heart in the most inspiring ways possible. Cuerdas answers today's most important questions about love and its eternal heart. I found the film to be very spiritual and non-religious. As a follower of Christ, I felt like the young characters showed us why Jesus said that we must "be humble like these little children" to find our way into Heaven. I want to buy it but did not see it on Amazon. I hope they will make it available as soon as possible. Every person on the planet needs to see, enjoy, and be moved by this piece. I'm following Cuerdas on Facebook and I'm @casandratweets. Would love to share with everyone when I am able to purchase it too.
I Don't have words to explain... How to explain my love feelings???...God, It is the most loving film that I have seen in my life... IMDb want that I write 10 lines ... but I can say wow because both IMDb ask? no more to say ... just described in 4 Lyrics: Love ... Love ... etc or they do not want to type in all caps I refrain my lyrics as well but my feelings are not Ratings can be expressed in and to terminate can not be expressed in words ... It's a short track to stop at this time and future .... is a boom that you take it in your hands and help promote it will not contain the feeling of love that would cause ...
According to what I had read, this movie is one of those typical ones that teachers in all schools show, something that surprised me to learn that it was nominated for so many awards, and even supposedly won a Guinness Record for being the most awarded film of 2019, but well, the thing itself is the movie, and I can only say that it is beautiful, as well as the animation, and the story with which I came to identify in such a way that I almost started to cry remembering my story in elementary school.
It turns out that despite the mistreatment I got to receive at that stage, I had a classmate who suffered from a disability similar to the boy in the film, and which did not understand why it was hard for him to do certain things that for an average human being were something of everyday, because I was about 8 or 9 years old at the time. The thing was a few years after I had finished elementary school, and I was wanting to remember things about the classmates I had in there, more than anything about that boy in particular, and I found out the bad news. He had left this world years ago, I kept silent because I knew my mother was not going to be interested in those people's lives, because it had happened before.
But well, beautiful movie, and beautiful everything.
