Description

Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. His days are a dull routine of work, loneliness, and regret.

Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people. These people may have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed your path forever.

Mitch Albom encarna a Eddie, un veterano de guerra que muere en un accidente. Al llegar al cielo se encuentra con 5 personas, que en algún momento de su vida influyeron directa o indirectamente. Las cuales ayudaran a entender su aparentemente vida sin sentido. Albom describe de manera retrospectiva cada cumpleaños en la vida de Eddie, despertando interés y curiosidad por continuar escuchando esta conmovedora historia. A pesar de los pocos cambios vocales y sin demasiados matices, es posible diferenciar a los personajes y sus características. Riverla proporciona con su voz firme las emociones y sentimientos necesarios. Con escasos momentos musicalizados, existe particularmente uno, que brinda una atmósfera de paz. M.B.M.

Author Mitch Albom brings Eddie, a war veteran who died in an accident, back to life. As Eddie arrives in heaven, he meets five people who, at some time, directly or indirectly influenced his life. They each try to help him understand his apparently meaningless existence. Flashbacks reveal every birthday in Eddie's life, awakening his interest and motivating him to hear more. In spite of the few changes or nuances in Francisco Rivela's voice, it is still possible to differentiate among the various personalities and discern their individual characteristics. Rivela's firm style provides all the necessary emotions and sentiments. A few musical moments create a peaceful, heavenly atmosphere.
