Drama/Mex
(Mexico, 2006, 91 minutes)
Three interlaced stories taking place in Acapulco over the course of two days: a young girl is unable to choose between her ex and her current boyfriends, a young runaway plays prostitute and an aged office worker steals the payroll and runs away to kill himself. Mosaic drama whose handheld visuals and narrative twists go a long way towards raising it above the genre's current run-of-the-mill prevalence.
A Taller "La Bella Sobriedad"/Cinematográfica Revolcadero production, in co-production with Canana Filmes and Instituto Mexicano de Cinematografía. Starring Diana García, Fernando Becerril, Miriana Moro, Emilio Valdés, Juan Pablo Castañeda, Mariana Perez de la Torre, Montserrat Lastra, Karyme Salgado Coria, Hector "Gava" Davila, Luis Calvillo, José Calvillo, Enrique Calderon Singer, Raul Soto, Amandititita, Alejandra Salgado Coria.
