If you loved El chico en la burbuja de plástico, try La laguna azul
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Randal Kleiser, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El chico en la burbuja de plástico, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La laguna azul is
Turquoise waves crash, a ship's wheel spins wildly, a child's cry echoes through air. A small boy and girl cling to a makeshift raft, a cook's reassuring presence, a lush island haven. Kleiser shoots their isolation with a gentle touch.
