Abstract

From films like The strategy of the snail (Director: Sergio Cabrera), it is important to reflect on the importance of resisting against unfair decisions.
Reaching dreams is not impossible, but the law can be an obstacle to their achievement. Sergio Cabrera film teaches how to take a "flight" in the midst of wickedness: simply having "more faith in men". The strategy devised by Jacinto, the Spanish Republican exile is wonderful. It is an onslaught against the misapplication of the law by judges.
