Why watch this film?
Three school friends reunite to recreate a photo from the opening of the metro in São Paulo. One is the owner of an Italian cantina (Tony Ramos), another is a priest (Ary França) and the last one is a successful lawyer (Cássio Gabus Mendes). Despite the apparent harmony in their lives, they face complicated obstacles along the way, with loneliness as the main element that unites them. From there, the always accurate director Luiz Villaça ('De Onde Eu Te Vejo') brings elements of comedy to unite football, passion for Palmeiras and a revisionist plot about existence, with airs of 'Before Departing', it hits the screens showing the importance of having someone by your side during the not always easy journey of life.

Where the Tracks End
This is a touching Mexican film directed by Ernesto Contreras (I Dream in Another Language, Cosas imposibles), based on the eponymous novel by Ángeles Doñate, which in turn is inspired by the real cases of "railroad schools" that existed in rural areas of Mexico around the mid-20th century (and of which one still exists). Where the Tracks End (El últimio vagón) tells the story of Ikal (Kaarlo Isaac), who constantly travels with his father for him to give maintenance to the train tracks. He ends up joining one of these railroad schools, where he meets new friends and where the teacher Georgina (Adriana Barraza, Academy Award nominee for Babel) does her best with what she has to educate them, in the face of the threat from an official of the Ministry of Education who intends to close the school. It's a conventional yet moving story, well-written and with excellent performances, perfectly suitable for a family weekend with a beautiful tale of friendship and empathy.
Walking with Herb
