This is one of the very few Ecuadorian films that have dared to dream big and as a result had delivered an interesting, funny collage of life experiences. It could be compared to a mural of intertwined stories built from tiny pieces of each and one of us the Ecuadorian people living abroad. Stories that overlap, crash and collide and get sucked into a inevitable chaos. However when the turmoil settles, the film switches gears into an introspection of our most intimate fears as a collective imaginary. I would like to thank Mieles, the actors and the entire film crew for offering an honest mirror where we Ecuadorians could see ourselves and start to depart from our dislocated selves and begin to build a more cohesive community without geographic boundaries.
