Just go watch it. Thank me later.
(Netflix)
Ok, it is Spanish with subtitles, for those of you who don't like to read. Even so, it'd be worth watching.

I found myself thinking about it for days afterward. There are several otherworldly scenes which, for some strange reason, remind me of that Isabella Rossellini movie "The Saddest Music in the World".

pulled into their lives. I told a friend I felt like I was eavesdropping on a family, because it was so natural.

mood set by parking the too big car in dog poo. And her shining through and wanting everything in her life with the/her family rather than the chaos of being poor.
