Great movie, warm and bittersweet. It somehow reminded me of
My Life as a Dog (1985) because it more or less deals with the
same issues, but we move from the Swedish North to the sunny
Brazilian South. Beautiful colors, great acting--Josue and Dora
make a wonderful pair and they really foil each other out. Almost
starts dragging a little before the end, but it picks up again. I highly
recommend.
