A smashing Spanish film perfectly recreating a feel of the late 1970s. Whilst the protagonists are ultimately criminals, one but cannot like all of them in one way or another. I strong insight into the characters and the evolution of a bullied introvert who finds new "family" and purpose in the local criminal gang. The writing and reproduction of the 1970s is superb. Despite being essentially a crime-spree film, many moments, and particularly the end, are deeply moving.
