Wow, not what I was expecting at all! This is the best thing I've watched this year! So fresh and delightful. It doesn't feel like watching a documentary. I really liked how they set this up. It's like watching secret lives of older people. They're adorable and wholesome. The ending was really heartbreaking.
I laughed and cried watching this. It's a funny and depressing documentary.
Definitely not what I expected from a documentary. It doesn't seem like a documentary actually. I liked the story and how the truth is presented through the main character.
A slice of the life of the elderly people living away from their families when they are more vulnerable. An honest film full of emotions (and tears) which is fine, since only what we feel strongly is going to stay with us in the long run.
"Llore, llore nomás, eso le va a hacer bien."
Life is cruel.
Good movie, shows a terrible reality. The theme of the movie I think is oblivion. An approach to oblivion is always difficult as it can only be experienced when it is too late. Invites us to think about the responsibility of society in the life of the elderly, it is the responsibility of everyone or only of each one's family. Ungrateful Society or the inevitable pain and forgetfulness of the end of life?
My Score 8/10.
[DokuFest] It's difficult to present this film as a documentary or a fiction. There is an obvious staging in the work entrusted to this octogenarian "spy" in the elderly home. What begins as a comedy turns into one of the moving looks at old age, loneliness, ungrateful sons, abandonment and the passage of time with no compassion. "This life is cruel, after all," says the old woman poet who will thrill us in the end.
The original title of the film is El agente topo.

An amazing film, full of emotions. The last 30' are heartbreaking. "Es cruel esta vida después de todo".
