But I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the incredible performances by the children—especially Lucca, played by a young actor (Julian Tello if I'm right) whose portrayal of the struggles of living with cerebral palsy was heart-wrenching. While most of the film focuses on the adult characters, the childrens acting adds another layer of authenticity and emotion to the narrative. The young actor playing the other child brings a touch of realism to the scenes, providing the necessary contrast to the gravity of Lucca’s condition. Their presence offers a glimpse of normalcy and innocence that makes Lucca's struggle even more poignant. The directors and writers clearly gave attention to the children roles, allowing them to shine without overwhelming the central narrative.

The direction by Mariana Chenillo is subtle but effective. She balances the grand scale of Lucca's health struggle with the intimate moments between family members, giving the audience a sense of both the isolation and the unity that come with such challenges. Chenillo’s ability to portray the complexity of a family dealing with such a serious condition is what makes the film feel so authentic.
