    I am a bus driver. I had a kid I drove that was in the third grade, nicest kid you could ever meet but the doctors said he wouldn't make it to the sixth grade. I drove him every year till he graduated high school and then attended his funeral two years later. I still think about him to this day. RIP Logan you are missed.

    For those who are unaware, this was based on a true story. The little boy lived in Mexico, and he was disabled. He had a friend maybe 2 years older than he. He did not have the fortune to attend a special school as they show here. But his friend would read, "jump" rope with him, color for him, always kept him company. Until he became very ill, and passed away in his humble home. The friend was heartbroken. Everyone in the neighborhood respected his friend so much! For they knew what a great friend he had been to his disabled friend 💔 He told Everyone he would become a teacher to special need students. I take it he kept his word. If you look for CUERDAS shorts, you will see the real kid and his friend.

    As the father of a disabled 13-year-old son who suffers from the life-shortening disease MLD, it's incredible to see how the makers of the film have brought out the expression in the boy's eyes. There is so much non-verbal communication in it. I can 100% relate it to my son's eyes. Well done! And it's always nice to learn that in real life there are many people like Maria who treat disability the way it should be treated: as normalcy.
    Thank you for this beautiful film, even if it makes me cry every time I see it.

    I think this is such a powerful short, explaining how people can have sympathy and compassion over those who have a disability. Our community needs a louder voice to vouch for individual accommodations, services, and rights to people who face these unfortunate circumstances in life. As someone with high-functioning Autism, my heart goes to to all of those who face these obstacles, and to their families standing by them in support.

Now with lots of therapies lm walking again! They haven’t treated me any differently no matter what my health was like.

      This was from an interview with the director:
      Is there a strong personal inspiration which lies behind the movie?
      Without a doubt! This story was inspired by my daughter Alejandra and her behavior with her brother Nicolás. Nicolás is my youngest son. He suffers severe cerebral palsy due to a lack of oxygen when he was born. This situation stops him from doing the basic things of a child. He can’t eat by himself, can’t walk nor talk; he is just like the main character in ‘Cuerdas’. Despite this situation Alejandra has always played with him with affection and imagination and was his greatest stimulus even now that she is nineteen years old and Nicolás twelve.

    Reminds me of my younger brother 🥺 he has cerebral palsy and for the longest time it was just us two facing the world 🤍 we’re only 2 years apart so he was my only play buddy for a while, I got creative with our games and he taught me more as a child than many learn in a lifetime. He holds a special spot in my heart that is only for him and our memories. Now he’s almost 22 and I’m a nurse thanks to all of the kind nurses he had growing up who were also just as amazing to the little girl who just wanted to play with her brother and ask endless questions ❤️ looking back, he not only taught me what strength and resilience are, but how to enjoy the simplicity of life, and most importantly…how to have a tender heart towards others 🤍 I ask god to ease any pain or frustration he has, grant my mother the highest ranks of paradise for the loving care she gives him, and for all who get to know him to be touched by his priceless smile that lights up any room….ameen

Mother's car which was a white honda civic. In a loyfatt tshirt and spectacles, he always had an iconic dent in his head. Sadly, during MDM Tans class Jairus, due to the lack of blood flowing into his brain had died and shat his pants in his wheelchair.

    When I was about 4 years old in kindergarten, there was a boy a bit older, he had probably one of the most severe cases of autism i've ever witnessed in my life; it was the first time ever i had been faced with autism at all, i didn't even know the word for it; despite that I set any carin for difference aside and we found a way to understand each other, quickly he became a fixture in my attendin that place, he was a best friend, easily, we played, we run(carefully), he'd talk to me, in his own way, he knew i'd get. Fortunately this story ends a little more happily because he did get to grow up and he is a young man now, I don't know much more than that about him, but I hope he fondly remembers the time we had together; and that I managed to make some stuff a little bit easier for him. I don't think he will know it but he's one of the reasons why i work the job i work now, but this short movie reminded me of him. Come september I'll be entering a class as a certified support teacher for disabled kids for the very first time. Cuerdas was one of the movies we were shown by one of our professors regarding disability and one of many many ways to include disabled kids and always make them feel welcome, during our course's class; there wasn't a dry eye in the room. It reminded me of how i ve come to love several people close to me and my heart who live with a disability or a disturb or more than one, and how they definitely part of the many gazillion reasons why im who i am today and keep on bein better and better everyday more.

    I was the only kid in class treating a boy with brain tumor nice, during elementary years, I remember getting talked about, no one wanted to sit with him at lunch, one time on valentines day everyone got candy, but I got a big paper heart from him.Kindness does go around. I miss seeing him, but hadn't seen him in years.

      Well...a bullet doesn’t hurt that much for the first few minutes....and then it hurts...and then after a bit it stops hurting and you feel drowsy...
      I was lucky though, cause they got it out and patched it all up. On occasion though I do get a little sore if I sleep on my right side.

    As someone who not only grew up with a disability but had a brother more severe this made me cry. While I may not have been this severe, I felt that the friends I did have even if not long lasting, helped me get through bullying and hard times. I do afterschool now and it breaks my heart that at least in the school I work at, bullying has become normal in forming the social hierarchy. 😢 but as long as good people exist. The world will be better.

    She kept a piece of him with her. For all we know, this could’ve repeated and every time you rewatch it, the teacher is Maria and there’s always a girl like her named Maria in the class and a boy in the class with a similar situation. She encourages Maria to stay in and keep him company because she remembers what it was like and wanted her to make the most of the young boy’s time. I want to cry so bad.

    Instead of dying, the kid woke up, like he any other day. Maria and the boy became good friends. As they grew, so did their love for each other. Maria became a school teacher, and the boy stayed home. They got married, adopted children from the place they both once lived and lived happily ever after❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
