The movie starts off well and has excellent photography, but within minutes it begins to turn into an excruciating tear-jerker soap opera. It's one of those movies that you can only watch "from the outside", without getting into the story, so that you can at least enjoy it with the involuntary humor that emanates from the over-acted characters and the terrible flaws of a script as poor and simple as that of a Mexican soap opera. Not even the final twist saves this mediocre and perfectly forgettable work. Three points for cinematography and some of the songs.
