    Ichaso tells Piñero's story through a sometimes disorienting series of flashbacks and flash-forwards, fracturing the time frame to suit the film's internal rhythms, rather than any coherent time line.

    There's a strong movie in this life, but writer-director Leon Ichaso ("Sugar Hill") hasn't found it.
