Life can get stressful and difficult at times, and it is easy to take that stress and put it on the people around us. This can lead to a lot of disagreements and bickering that could potentially ruin a relationship. Sin embargo, la película Remedio casero illustrates how taking the time to recognize all the great qualities of a loved one can help lead to less in-fighting and more compassion and understanding. Jasleen, a young student in the New Delhi school system, learned this crucial relationship skill in the classroom with her fellow students. After hearing her friend’s heartwarming words about her, it made her feel happy, and she saw how this same exercise could help her parents’ strained relationship.
Remedio casero was curated for the Planet Classroom Network by Dream a Dream. Director Christopher Scott Carpenter reminds us how important communication is to keep relationships healthy and strong. Jasleen took the lessons she learned in the classroom, and saw it as a possible solution to her home situation. When she did, it brought much needed positivity to the household, and helped her parents build a stronger and happier marriage. One of the best quotes in the piece is from the father when he says, “We had always thought it was the grownups who teach kids. Today’s kids are teaching us.” This young generation has the power to enact real change, even if it’s just in their own homes, and this film is a great reminder of the power of the youth voice.
This film shares important values and skills that I think will be great for our young audiences to learn from and take into their own lives. I highly recommend this short, and give it 4.5/5 estrellas.
