Press
If it were American, it would be glofified and taken as a work of art. Very interesting, very well shot, very good acting, of great sensibility. I feel gratified as this movie was made in our country.
Guillermo Hernandez/ Rock And Pop
A restless exploration of spirituality in times of personal selfishness. Diego Rafecas does a promising debut with a story that will catch young and adult´s attention. East and West in a worthly emotional trip.
Javier Firpo / La Razón
Very good film. A different as well as an original opera prima, which highlights contrasts such as reflection and vertigo, laugh and cry, East and West and above all it explains the experience of having a spiritual awakening
