Cata and Alex live inland of Malaga in static homes in the country. They dream of getting enough money together to leave and start again on the coast. But life is hard, and there is no work, their families are broken and both are carers for family members at a young age. But when Alex sees a way out, everything falls apart. Ferocious performances from both main actors, as expected, but also great performances turned in across the cast. It's desperate and brutal, and you'll be wishing for things to be okay. The only issue is the ending, which needed to be a little less abrupt. We deserved to see what happens with Alex in full, but in another way, that's how it goes. Having lived among very poor people in the Malaga region, I thought this film is very realistic and brings to life the terrible choices people have to make when they are trapped by poverty. I watched this film in Spanish, but hopefully there will be subtitles in the future.
