I just saw "El Mago" in big screen and I think it's a great and original story about redemption and search for self peace. The movie told us about a street magician named Tadeo, who finds out that has a terminal disease which lead him to death in a few months. It's because of this, that Tadeo wants to leave this life in peace, without burdens and debts, that he starts a journey to ask for the forgiveness of his ex wife and the son of his dead best friend. (This it's not a spoiler)and his blind assistant and a young neighbor will help him in that task. Director Jaime Aparicio told us a story about human relationships, instead a story about poverty and insecurity like most of Mexican filmmakers. El mago it's a masterly executed story about finding ourselves in the dawn of our lives. Ifyou find it, see it, you won't regret it.
