Seven-year-old Sol (Nama Sentes) was gleefully caught up in the hubbub roiling the home of her grandpa (Alberto Amador), as the family readied a surprise birthday party for her young father Tona (Mateo Garca Elizondo). It soon becomes apparent that the celebration is likely her gravely ill parent's last-and Sol's innocent wistfulness will be in sharp contrast to her relatives' resignation. Lila Avils' acclaimed study also stars Montserrat Maraon, Marisol Gas. 95 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; featurette. In Spanish with English subtitles.
