    Preciosa.
    Overall, was a beautiful journey, but I do have a major complain: I wished the last 20 minutes were longer, maybe another extra hour to unfold the story in a more organic and intense way. I felt like they run out of money and speeded the velocity of the storytelling, giving me as result a dissatisfying feeling of watching a unfinished film. The first hour was beautifully performed, this is the struggle of rural and uneducated population here at Mexico. The hard work of painting the divisive yellow line in Mexico's highways, serves as an analogy for guidance. The yellow line is a guide in the road, and in many ways all the gentleman working here are lacking some main guidance towards self-realization. I just loved it, it was poetic and a truthful portray of rural Mexico in so many ways, that it deserved 3 hours of 2:30 of duration. Beautiful work.
