This movie had plenty of shortcomings. Chile's cinema industry was only reborn in 1990, with the return of constitutional democracy. The Pinochet years were full of censorship and dozens of Chile's best artists, directors, and filmmakers were exiled. Now many have returned and are making films. Chile's film production has gone from a couple per year to about 16 per year. It is a growing cultural phenomenon with still scarce resources. This movie is a solid step in the right direction. Not bad for a film with a sub-million dollar budget.
