The Official Story

What started out as such a hopeful movie turned so dark. We see in the beginning the perfect family. A mother and father who could not have a child of their own but chose to adopt a beautiful little girl. To give her a better life. We see a prosperous family with such a bright future. Then it all goes down hill from there. Alicia meets up with old friends and runs into Ana. Being such good childhood friends Ana decides to tell Alicia what had happened to her and what was happening to innocent women and their children. Only then do we see Alicia question her perfect family. She becomes hopeful that she can figure out Gaby's past and make it make sense. Only to quickly become hopeless when she starts to realize that Roberto had a hand in hurting these innocent women. She finds a woman who thinks she may be Gaby's grandmother and she is hopeful that she can find out her daughter's past. When introducing Sara to Roberto she quickly finds out that her husband is not the man that she thought he was. The whole time Roberto is hopeful that Alicia wouldn't find out the truth. When Alicia's world comes crashing down around her she is forced to make a decision. A decision that we will never know. She is hopeless in the end with a child that was taken from her mother, a husband who has now abused her, and a grandmother who wants to be a part of Gaby's life. We see a hopeful movie turn to hopelessness. Will Roberto lose everything? Will Alicia take her daughter and live a good life? Will Sara ever get the chance to meet Gaby? We will never know.

I did enjoy this movie. I was hoping for a blurb at the end that would tell me an update but since that didn't happen I can only hope for the best for Gaby, Alicia, and Sara. I could care less what happens to Robert.
