🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director José Luis Cuerda constructs the narrative as a series of interconnected vignettes, relying on the traditions of magical realism and Galician folklore. He explores the escape from mundanity through absurdity, employing gentle humor and a poetic lens on nature.
Those who tire of fast-paced plots will find a charming, melancholic comedy where the failed robbery takes a backseat to the portrait of an entire ecosystem with its own rules. What lingers after is a sense of tender whimsy. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: José Luis Cuerda
