"They never taught me to beg."
"Only life does that."
This movie is about people who are really really old and really really poor who are trying to live up to their ideals despite the odds. They are willing to let themselves starve to death rather than dishonor the memory of their dead son. It was painfully to watch. The reason we are giving it one star is that there is not a real arch to the story and the ending feels like they ran out of film. We both said, "That can't be the ending can it?" and then "Fin." Selma Hayek has about ten speaking lines in this film and was fairly close to being an extra.
