Our Comments on the film:
Inspiring story of Hernan, “The boy and the mountain” brings out the entire life story within a short span, without missing out any important events. The VFX work is just amazing. Wonderfully written and directed, one is left wondering if their lives have been up to their personal dreams and wishes or has life taken its own course.
