This film held ones interest even though some of the scenes were a bit weak and non-contributory. There isn't a lot of context provided for people who are unfamiliar with this civil war, but for those who have knowledge of it, it makes sense. The film is great for capturing the faces of the women who suffered during that period as well as the losses suffered by the young guerillas. It cannot be an easy task to look faces of the military in the eyes, knowing what some people had to endure at their hands. It's worth the watch since, unlike many independently produced, low-budget films from Latin America, this one actually comes together at the end. There are no loose ends.
