Pleasant surprise!

I'm not from Ecuador but I come from a south mexican city and I can understand the hardship that is to make a quality film in a place that has very little opportunities, but this film didn't care about that. The acting was phenomenal, the two brothers were natural actors, the story was told in a way that just made you keep going, It was perfectly not too fast and not too slow, the character Luis was so immature and stupid but I just kind of loved him, he was sympathetic and Paco was very relatable, the whole story was relatable if you were born and live in Lationamerica, just by hearing the title I can sense Dysfunctional family coming, and we latinos know lots about that.

I'm going to look foward to more filmography in Ecuador, Keep the good work!!
