The film immerses you in the atmosphere of Rosillas, a village that feels heavy with unfulfilled dreams and stubborn pride. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the struggles and frustrations faced by Gregório and his community. It’s not flashy, but the performances have a raw authenticity that pulls you in. The practical effects and settings are quite grounded, giving a sense of realism to the harshness of their lives.
