"Such a tragic story. A mother makes choices for her four daughters to attempt to protect them but ends up driving her two oldest into the heart of darkness. This is a true story told with the remaining family members and actors to recreate scenes and to analyze what happened. Honest, troubled with moments that glisten with raw honesty "

"A documentary made up of testimonies and acting, a very interesting and often chaotic hybrid. At times there is no distinction between the real people and the actresses, both are a bit of everything, which helps to generate more reflections, as it is a strong film, full of dilemmas, in which this family relays its history, full of facts, tragedies and many questions that involve everything from politics, religion, fanaticism, customs to freedom. An experimental, different, real and very emotional documentary."
