Infused with plenty of documentary-like authenticity, especially in its portrayal of a group of young men trying to exorcise their demons.

The unwavering human kindness of "The Prayer" - a film as clean and bracing as the mountain air that surrounds it - sees it through to something truthful.

Free of melodrama and sentimentality, the film presents a clear and objective picture of what this community wants, and the sad reality these boys face {Full review in Spanish]
