Overview
A Romanian police officer, determined to free from prison a crooked businessman who knows where a mobster's money is hidden, must learn the difficult ancestral whistling language (Silbo Gomero) used on the island of Gomera.
Did I miss something with this movie? It felt like the center was just missing. It is billed as a dramatic thriller but it is neither dramatic or thrilling. Also, the timeline shifts just don’t work in the movie. Lastly, the ending fit the rest of the movie (which is not a compliment).
