“A moving, romantic melodrama. (Susi) Sanchez and (Carmen) Elias are luminous and heartbreaking as women determined to let nothing — not the law, society, family nor illness — destroy their love. ”
Pam Grady. FRAMELINE 32 (San Francisco)

“A powerful and emotional drama, demonstrating the power of hate and fear to hinder same-sex desire, and a testament to the lasting force of the love between two women during repressive times.”
INSIDE OUT TORONTO

"Touching! Beautiful!”
Judi Price, JANE AND JANE

“What can we recover from? How can we go on? Should we go on? Where do we find strength and hope? And can what’s been damaged heal sufficiently? When is it too late? What can cause people to change? The film faces all these questions and more. It’s about the survival potential of the human spirit, real love and the price individuals and society pay for all of them. Viewers with fortitude and curiosity and a desire to understand and be moved will find it worth the roller coaster ride. ”
Rob Lester, EDGE BOSTON
