Ladies and gentlemen, this is a wonderfully crazy road movie of the theatrical sorts - starring some very beautiful actors. The candid hero is learning some hard facts of life. You will be taught that it is best "to do the right thing". The subject and basic setup are rather simple and straightforward (which I will not reveal), yet the narrative is beautiful with lots of surprises, unexpected twists and interesting characters showing off a plethora of talent. You have to love the gayish soccer judge/priest! Some of the actors are not very accustomed to the camera and perhaps they enjoy the limelight a little bit too much. As the colorful and artistic drama unfolds without hesitation, it on several occasions gives the impression that the whole set is on the verge of bursting into song and dance - and maybe they will? Nothing wrong with that - whatever happens in this respect I am quite happy with the soundtrack. The filming is a bit inconsistent as it on a few occasions switches between 1. movie. 2. filmed theater. 3. documentary. I give it 7+ * out of 10 * (with love. Even if I think the fish-eye lens is used a bit too often)
