Watching this movie is so inspiring. It tells the story of a young mother of two who is left by her husband just after moving to America. It takes awhile for the mother to realize the husband is never coming back to them. She is forced to live on the streets and take care of her two children all by herself. She faces many hardships and goes through so much, all for the kids. Parts of it are rather sad because you really get a view of how much the family struggled to get where they are. They are forced to give up so much, even the children. They all stick together because they are family and they truly love one another.
This movie is written, directed and starring Paola Mendoza. It is interesting because this story is about her life. In the movie she takes on the role of the mother (her real life mother) but she is actually the young woman's daughter in the film, Andrea. It makes the movie so much better in my opinion because you know while you are watching that all the of events that happen are pretty accurate. The emotions that shows throughout the movie really give it the sense that you know it is real. She does a great job acting in this movie! It made me want to see more of her work.
Now you must know before watching this movie that there is very little plot and not a lot of dialog. However it is still an interesting movie to watch. Much of what happens you don't need words to see what is happening. In this case, actions speak louder than words. Everything they do has such a strong impact words aren't necessary. The plot is also a little on the weak side since not a lot is happening, but that is because it is based on true life. The rest of the events in the movie make up for the lack of plot.
This movie is shown in Spanish with English subtitles. It isn't very hard to follow along however. Also the lighting of the movie is very dark but it really gives you a feel for how their life truly is. Overall the director did a good job at making the movie seem realistic. It is easy to follow along as long as you don't mind reading the subtitles.
A movie filled with family, tradition, trust, love and survival, this one is definitely worth watching. You will see just how hard it is for immigrants to adjust and live in America. You can't help but feel bad for them. After it is over you will have a better understanding of how hard life can be for everyone, it has a good message to send out.
