Michel Frank is more interested in experimenting and discovering his own style method than following the traditional film production method of other directors.In his opinion, a filmmaker should not try to put all the ideas in his mind into his films;Instead, he should focus on a specific theme and present it as clearly as possible.He prefers to tell stories of family members in trouble[14]。He is considered to be one of the great artists in Mexico. He began to build his works from the exploration of his family[15]；Highly dramatic and calm scenes are the hallmark of his works[16]。(Comprehensive review of Kerala International Film Festival, Aldianews and Variety)
