A FILM REVIEW

THREE STEPS ABOVE HEAVEN

"Three steps above Heaven” is a romantic film starring by Mario Casas as “Hache” and María Valverde as “Baby”. This Spanish film tells the story of one boy and one girl with two completely different lives. The boy has had a difficult adolescence due to the hard separation of his parents. However, the girl, whose parents are very rich, studies in a school with very good standards and has a very good life. Until Hache arrives.

Baby falls in love with Hache and he too. Baby tries new experiences like joining in illegal moto races. She likes leaving her routine of studying during all the day and enters another world full of beautiful and romantic moments. There are also spectacular moments with lots of rushes of adrenalin. But Hache isn’t as perfect as he seems till now.  

Hache is a problematic boy and Baby’s parents don’t like him very much. During the film, Hache has to deal with loads of problems. This, causes loads of hazards in their relationship. Finally, Baby’s parents organize a party to celebrate her 18^th birthday. Hache comes and hits one guest. And to top it all, a very good friend of Baby and Hache dies. Is very difficult for Baby to bear all this problems, so she have to take an important decision….

I particularly enjoyed in the film that Baby skipped her classes during all the day and Hache brought her to the beach by moto going through a large variety of beautiful landscapes. This day was a very special day. They spent all the day together and had lot of fun. Many romantic moments were enjoyed. Clearly, what I liked least is the end of the film. I didn’t like how a beautiful film like this one can finish so badly. With one person dead, Hache and Baby separated and with some crying moments.

I really wish the next film would have a better ending. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the film. I recommend you this romantic film. Above all to all the teenagers or fanatics of love stories.
