I'm a frequent visitor to Colombian's northern coast and this film shows this region very well.
By the film's title and subject, I was not expecting an action film, I knew it would move slow. Maybe because of my low expectations I found this film truly wonderful! The film shows the great variety of the region and its people. The different languages and accents. The mountain and river scenes were great. The regions of Magdalena, César and Guajira are beautifully depicted.
The story was good enough for me. I liked the questions that are left unanswered. But clearly, for me, the scenery more than carried this film.
