Jamás pensé que una película en la que el 70% de las escenas se limitan a una cama de hospital podría transmitir tanto, tan dolorosamente, tan crudo, tan cierto. Es tremenda. Se agotan las palabras para definirla. Las miserias de la guerra, de la no existente mal llamada humanidad plasmadas de la forma más minimalista jamás imaginada. Disfrutadla, y abrid los ojos, los oídos y todo vuestro ser (todos los que podáis).
