One of the most tender, beautiful and real movies I have ever seen. It's one of those movies that leaves you with a pang of nostalgia even though you have never been with these characters in Mexico in your whole life.
It's an exploration of Mexican culture, life and politics in it's Goddard-esque direction of two best friends who go on a road-trip with an older woman to a imaginary beach.
Reminded me so much of Masculin Feminine and like that movie first it puts bare the thoughts, urges, life moving by itself of people in Mexico city by showcasing teenagers moving in a panorama of love, drama and friendship against the backdrop of political unrest, the tangible diffusion and overtaking of capitalism, of nature and beauty and how precious life is.
