The Life Ahead

A Spanish film that follows Rosa, an aging former-prostitute, as she takes in kids of current prostitutes to help keep them off the street. The kid of interest is Momo, a Senegalese orphan who just needs something to care about and someone to care about him. Rosa and Momo both grow to need each other and find themselves saving each other. Even though formulaic and time-forced (not enough time passed to develop the depth of relationship we see), this is still a worthwhile watch. Reminded me in look and feel to Monsieur Ibrahim, which I vaguely remember to be better.

4 stars (out of 5)
