Reception
[edit]Nilton Arana Torres from Cinencuentro comments that the film doesn't finish developing its own personality because the visual, narrative or sound proposal clashes at various times. Likewise, the characters' conflict is not explored correctly due to the length and inconsistent performances on the part of the cast. However, he highlights photography because it manages to capture the grandeur of rural areas.[10]
