Decent Melodrama About Two Sisters and Their Friend
MovieGuy-1092423 October 2022
Lilia Silvi plays an orphan (Carina) who is taken in by two sisters and their father and who becomes part of the family. The three girls then support each other through hardships on their way to try to find success and happiness.

Lilia Silvi is always wonderful and carries this whole movie along on her back, with the help of a few good supporting characters. Without her, it would have probably been a stinker. Even still she could only do so much with the script she was given.

The movie never bothered to explore each of the hardships that befell the girls. Every time there was a hardship they all pretty much just said, OK, and moved forward. This always left me confused. The movie could have been much richer had they explored some of the details of each of these situations rather than just blowing past them. There was a problem that finally came along that lasted for a while. This gave the movie a little more depth (very little), but at least it was something.

And then Lilia Silvi's character always just did more and more to help out and we never saw it as any real difficulty for her. It might have been better to show her struggling a bit.

I gave it 7 stars because Lilia Silvi is a pleasure, but I probably won't bother to ever watch it again.
