The pope's Toilet

This is a really tough and touching movie. I could not help but feel frustrated most of the time with the harsh circumstances of these people. I have seen movies with much more poverty and harsh environments, but there is something about Beto's desperation and hope and disillusionment that really breaks your heart. I have seen just 2 or 3 movies about Uruguay, and I would not want to fall in the cliche of creating an idea in my mind about a particular culture just because some movies tend to have the same stereotype, but it is hard not to wonder if this is really such a poor and underdeveloped country. I also felt so sorry for how so much faith got confronted by cruel reality.
