This film is shadowed by the 1936 civil war. It is a story about a little girl Carol who moves from New York to a Spanish Village with her mother fighting against the conventionalism's found in this new culture. Carols religion interfered with her efforts to adapt to the new culture in Spain. She was seen as an enemy in school because she did not want to convert to Catholicism from Protestant.
I found this film hard to enjoy not fully understanding the dialog. Yes, you can read body language and hear emotional tones but words are part of a language for a reason...communication of a message and then how the message was interpreted. I felt pretty lost in the plot.

I thought the film was very good and I enjoied it very much even though I could not understand all it was about. I was able to follow the film for the most. The emotions we all share are the same no matter where we come from and the way we express them are very close. The loss of a loved one, the feeling of being alone and the feel of a new friend are all feeling we share all over the world. This film would be a really good one to seee in english I agree.
