Based on a true story, this story touches on deep themes that occur nowadays terrorism, bullying, abortion are some themes the short film touches. Is good to show this movie as it enriches the stories from Peru and shows important themes that still are alive nowadays with a good message of hope and miracle. Gian Carlo plays the father and shows the journey of a troubled man with ambition who is stopped with the arrival of his kid and how when he loses that he lost it all. Gian Carlo really expresses the unconditional love of a father and how his child is everything to him.
