A psychologically rich and intriguing portrayal, particularly in the relationship between a kind-hearted soldier and a black prisoner, which gradually transitions into a very unique and personal love affair, with one of the most peculiar women in the history of cinema playing a role. The characters are excellent, with an immense emotional foundation. At one moment, you feel sadness, only to be smiling moments later.
