it is an emotional film, not an action film. there is much dialogue, presented at a steady slower pace, which gives one time, as the viewer, to take it all in. the women and children in this tale, which is loosely based on a true event which occured in bolivia, each participate in a discussion at their own emotional levels, as to whether, and why they would want to leave, and what the repercussions and benefits would or could be.
i found this film to be thoroughly engrossing, and the characters, as well as their process to be very much believable. at the end of the film, the audience just sat there for quite a bit in silence, or speaking quietly amongst themselves, which speaks to the emotional impact the film had on the viewers. i would highly recommend it.
