Nearly every aspect of this work-of-art is perfectly complemented. Lost language and love, dying and the persistence of opportunity slipping away-so poetic and enchanting. Many movies strain for the type of majesty "Sueño en otro idioma" accomplishes seemingly effortlessly, but only one or two a year ever surface into mainstream society.
Bravo to Ernesto Contreras, cast and crew.

It is a must see for any person interested in native roots. As Mexican I cannot describe the power of this piece of our roots.
Obviously made from the soul.
It is magical realism at its finest.
One wonderfully crafted gem about the clash of several different worlds.
Language, sexuality and personal aspirations all became entangled showing us all how chaotic Life is and how hard it is to make sense of it all.
A very plausible argument and human back ground made this movie very special for me because my personal emotional subtext filled all the blanks in the story.
I´m yet digesting it but i could not resist in reviewing it in the hope that others see it.

I loved it - very subtle movie, amazing DOP. Even though this is a fantasy, the plot is very plausible and touching. I highly recommend it.
So happy we found this. The scenery was beautiful right from the start. The acting was flawless. The storyline timeless. Subtitles are needed for those of us that don't speak Spanish. Without giving away any spoilers, it's a story of love, commitment, social and personal evolvement, and universal spirituality.
