I really invite you to , to watch this film that is really unique in Latin American cinema.

S5: Yes. What I like about this festival also is like , it's really interdisciplinary. So you can go to the AMC Mission Valley , watch a film , talked with the director and then go to Sabor Latino that it's , for example , an event that brings the best chefs from Baja California. They will be here on Saturday , 23 of March in the afternoon at the AMC Mission Valley. Every day we have DJs. Also in the festival. We have a closing party with the band La Verdad.

S7: The book really got started in my childhood , and I grew up in the Santa Monica mountains of California on a lake called Malibu Lake , and this was where the connection with nature took root for me. I just I have the fondest memories of swimming in the lake and I hadn't seen the tadpoles as they transformed into frogs and the green algae. It was all just so miraculous to me , and I felt at home. And I felt that piece.
