Found this on Netflix when looking for Spanish programmes to help my language learning.
The one shot is executed brilliantly and the majority of characters are interesting and watchable. Some scenes didn't quite work as well and seemed to jarr the flow but it didn't get boring and didn't drag on. Quality writing, direction and editing went into this.
It's main fault I think was the tendency, particularly in the last 20 mins or so, to get a bit preachy and obvious about the message (the importance of language and communication, and community with one another). A subtler approach may have worked better and strengthened the narrative. Overall though a decent watch and something a little more original and quirky than the average offering.
