Ratings and reviews

The movie is in Spanish but there are sub titles. The music, jazz which sounds wonderful, especially with the Spanish songs. The story is sad, but if you love romance, it is definitely a must see.

todo pero en especial, nuestro Bebo Valdes. Solo que los que no hablen Español estan perdiendo y mucho porque la traducion no esta tan-tan al punto! :D

This was such a good movie. I liked it even better because it was animated. I watched this with my significant other for a date night.
