The story is pretty simple, but that is precisely why it is very impactful. The film does not go into that much detail of how the family grew up, or tell the back story of the parents, but it works because Paula is the driving force of the family. She's the one we should be focusing our attention on. Much like her character is there to support her family, the rest of the cast is pretty much supporting her.
The dynamics of this family is very well established, and the chemistry between them superb. You can feel the love they have for each other, and it is precisely because there is less talk that there is more feels. They have to work extra hard to express themselves which made the film refreshing to watch. The entire cast of the family did their parts really well. Elmosnino and Duran as the music teacher and best friend also did well in bringing certain dynamics to the film.
The script is well written, and going in, I did not expect the film to be so comedic. The screenplay is not corny or awkward, as some films nowadays tend to be. And because Paula must translate conversations between her family and outsiders this makes for some funny 'lost-in-translation' remarks.
While I do like the simplicity of the story, it was also quite predictable. The ending comes as no surprise, but I do not mind that so much because it is how they got there that's important. The singing as well is excellent. Emera, was discovered on the talent show 'The Voice', and her voice is absolutely beautiful.
