With his older brother Ismael (Nacho Sánchez) by his side (because an elder sibling’s aim in life is to keep the younger one out of trouble) and their grandmother Cuca (Lola Cordón), he goes on a heartwarming journey across the vistas of Cantabria in northern Spain.
Any in it has to be a cosy watch. Add to it the stirring theme of two brothers reconnecting during a road trip, and you know it will be a touching watch from start to end. Héctor would rather not speak too much, but his intuition and emotional maturity know no bounds, and that’s what shines through.
This inspiring movie on Netflix gives us a peek into what it’s like to rebuild relationships from scratch. It also inspires us to reach out to family even when we are at our most isolated.
