This is a beautifully shot film with a really nice pace to it. The film was nominated for a couple of Independent Spirit Awards; one for Best Actor and one for Best Picture with a Budget Under 500k, which it won.
Chris Eska does a great job by many times just telling the story with the images or a character's expression. The film has a very nice leisurely pace with a some incredible performances in this story of an immigrant man and his daughter-in-law. The performances in the film have such a natural feel that they blend in perfectly with the filmmaker's style.
Did I mention the film is in Spanish with English subtitles. The cool part of that is that writer-director, Chris Eska doesn't speak Spanish and the actors translated to Spanish. Just a little fun fact for you.
Be sure to come check this beautiful film out, it's a great journey from beginning to end.
