PUMARINO´S VERSION OF JULIO CORTÁZAR
A line jumps out from a letter and goes down on to the table. The line crosses the room, goes up the wall and it enters into a picture on the wall. It descends from the roof to the road. It goes past a lot of people. It goes across the road. It gets on a bus and travels to the docks. There, the line goes up the rope. It goes into the ship and goes along the corridor. It enters into a room where a man is crying and drinking. It goes to the palm of his hand. Then, he catches a gun. |

Going to the cinema? Million dollar baby
Starring Hillary Swank and director Clint Eastwood, Drama and Romance 2 hrs. 17 min. In the wake of a painful estrangement from his daughter, boxing trainer Frankie Dunn has been unwilling to let himself get close to anyone for a very long time--then Maggie Fitzgerald walks into his gym. In a life of constant struggle, Maggie's gotten herself this far on raw talent, unshakable focus and a tremendous force of will. But more than anything, she wants someone to believe in her. The last thing Frankie needs is that kind of responsibility-- let alone that kind of risk--but won over by Maggie's sheer determination, he begrudgingly agrees to take her on. In turns exasperating and inspiring each other, the two come to discover that they share a common spirit that transcends the pain and loss of their pasts, and they find in each other a sense of family they lost long ago. Yet, they both face a battle that will demand more heart and courage than any they've ever known. It´s a must-see
