CGiii Comment

Veteran Barreto delivers a dignified film...

Even the beautiful cinematography cannot compete with the powerhouse performances from the 2 leads, Pires & Otto, chalk & cheese...yet, they match perfectly.

They just ooze quality - from start to finish.

Deserving of all the accolades.
