I believe only a foreigner or one who understands the struggles of a foreigner in this country can appreciate this film. This film brilliantly portrayed the loneliness and frustration experienced by them, which is seen in the life of Ulises while escaping violence in his country. However, the underlying story of the hopelessness of today's youth is what this film is about. They are talented, yet lack the opportunities to develop a productive life in society. They can cover up this reality with their artistic distraction yet, it's not enough to lead them to a worthwhile quality of life. To make matters worse, they are easy prey to illegal activities that lurk around them. As a result, they are left vulnerable to easily take a path of destruction. This film was very effective in reflecting the sad reality being faced by our youth. It left me with deep sadness seeing the difficulties being faced by them, especially when they are from deprived countries or broken families in this country.
