Overview
A Spanish teacher and her student develop an unexpected friendship.
I watch a lot of indie movies that try to pull off films like this and they almost always fail miserably. I think what impressed me the most about this movie that they were able to take the limitations of a pandemic film and make it into a positive. In a way it reminded me of the movie 1776 in that the monologues sent over voice…. errr… video mail worked the same as if the two leads were sending letters to each other. We got a sense of who they were and what they were struggling with through these monologues without having to sit through scenes to act them out. By the end of the film I felt like I knew them. Fantastic job.
