very good actors officiate a film that expresses and demands commitment

The exploration of guilt, the need for forgiveness, the search for redemption. Three links in the same chain, three ways of approaching the complicated states of the soul when something hits it violently. That’s what it’s about The debtthis movie Daniel Guzmanwhich wonders if it is possible to cope with your own life when you have destroyed that of others. How is it supported? How do you live with it? “You will learn,” they tell the protagonist. And he tries. The plot is ambitiousits cuttings, its branches, slides through inequality, precariousness, eviction, vulture funds and, also, dependency. He does it with love, with skillperhaps wanting to play too many things.

It is not always easy to fit everything in and at times he flirts with deviate from the credible or at least what is plausible – the doctor’s disguise, the nurse’s involvement, the approach to the wounded mother. For this loses some steam in its second half. They will say that it is somewhat naive but it is undoubtedly moving, it is sentimental in the best sense of the word, talk about the present, the fucking presentso fucked, so shattered. It demands values, it demands a look, it puts you in front of a mirror. And a shot is heard on the road. Terrible.
