Sweet coming-of-age story. Two pre-teens, a boy and a girl, are best friends and set out on a picaresque journey across the country to stop her from being taken away by her mother. They have various adventures, mostly benign along the way. The portrait of Cuba was very positive...almost propagandist.
The two leads were good but not as good as the extraordinary child actors I've seen in many productions lately from all over the world. The landscape was appealing...the resolution fairy tale-ish. Overall a pleasant diversion.
