Corazón de León

Love has no boundary, no language, no limitations. It is universal in a way that we can fall at any point of time. Whether we watch Hollywood movies of Woody Allen, Bollywood romantic movies or Bengali movies like "Devdas", we enjoy feeling it from our heart.

Every ambition has to pay, so does love. At some point of our life we all fall in love without thinking or judging much but rather we develop a feeling that comes from inside. Here Ivana Cornejo (Julieta Díaz) a successful lawyer, develops a feeling for León Godoy (Guillermo Francella) an architect, in this Argentine movie "Corazón de León".

But what is so special about this couple?
Here the protagonist character, León, is un enano i.e. a dwarf & Ivana falls in love with him irrespective of their differences in height.

"Me fatlan 40 centimetros, pero es nada grave-- It lacks only 40 cm nothing much" says León on their first meeting at a restaurant. Ivana is surprised to meet him as she has created an imaginary portray of this man based on a telephonic conversation they had before.

Now the story outshines our common belief that we generally follow like- LOVE at FIRST sight, FIRST impression is the LAST impression, bla bla bla... At first it gives us a clear scenario where we can sense that nothing will work out between this mismatched couple. Dating is out of question. But the spectacular narration of this romantic comedy film by Director Marcos Carnevale, slowly unfolds the emotional feelings of Ivana for this man León. The more we enter into the film, the deeper we encounter the character of this man as a father, friend & lover surpassing his height. 

LOVE is like a dream. We don't realize it in the beginning until we wake up in the middle, not being able to complete the journey.
