"El Estudiante", An inspiring Mexican movie.

During the summer I had the oppotunity to watch one of the best Mexican movies which really inspired me for the upcoming college experience that was waiting for me. The movie is called "El Estudiante" ( The Student) and it takes place in the University of Guanajuato, Mexico. It is about a group of young students and a 70 year old man called "Chano" who just got registered to start the whole college experience again. He wanted to study Literature but focus mainly in a famous Mexican book called Don Quijote de la Mancha. By going back to college he notices the differences in culture and in traditions since the last time he was in college. He becomes the best friend of 5 young students and teaches them about life and the importance of taking advantage of the opportunities that were presented to them each day. Together they overcome problems related with love, with new friendships and with life in general. It is a really inspiring movie that is worth watching specially right now that we are just starting our college journey.
