Excellent performances propel this very OTT tale about love, sexuality, parenting, cancer, prostitution, pregnancy (the list goes on) to an enjoyable, sugar-coated finale. Hector Medina's green eyes keep you hooked, but the countless filler connecting shots of him lounging about the streets looking wistful grate very quickly. The story has too much to say, and takes its sweet time telling it. Despite this, it's a warm film with good intentions and pulls you in close.
