A melodramatic fantasy

Warning: Spoilers
The sole thought of death makes our mind wander into the infinite space of the unknown. Will we know when that moment comes to our life? How can we prepare ourselves for it?? The Mexican cinematography of the past century, addressed this issue in various manners. A couple of movies portrayed death as a person; As a man or as a woman. The interesting side of this particular movie of 1950, is that it shows us several facets of the idiosyncrasy of the Mexican people. Love and respect for those that left us long before their time, and the sacrifice that must be undertaken in order to preserve their good memories. At the end this sacrifice is rewarded with the possibility of a glorious life ahead. Great natural backgrounds make it a beautiful experience.
