Rode Duran Pacheco wrote a sympathy message

“Acabo de ver la película ¿Puedes guardar un secreto? Y no pude evitar googlear el nombre de la dedicatoria ya que mi nombre es Rode Ester Durán, soy de Chile y nací el 31 de marzo de 1992, fue mucha coincidencia para no ser revisada! Excelente película, me encantó y entrega un mensaje muy profundo, gracias.”
