As we watch Paola's birth and follow her up to young adulthood, often through dark and unforgiving circumstance, the film showcases the relationships and friendships that come and go as one grows up and struggles to find a fulfilling existence. 'Virus Tropical' covers familiar ground, as far as autobiographical films go, but the details ring true, and the film's heartfelt honesty enlivens every scene. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-virus-tropical-an-animated-slice-of-life-from-colombia
