Las bicicletas son para el verano

This is the last line of this brilliant and mesmerizing Spanish testimonial that portraits with radiant realism, the times and livings of four different families in a neighborhood, their illusions, hopes and disappointments, since 1936 to 1939 in Madrid. The touch of genius of this work was to intermingle in accurate rate the political affairs with the wide range of personages who try to forge their lives although the environment of horror and moral misery. A human testimonial of first-rate transcendence!
