Gerardo (Juan Carlos Ortuno), a 17-year-old who has recently embraced his homosexuality, has just parted ways with his first serious boyfriend, Bruno (Juan Carlos Torres).

Critic Reviews
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
As pretentious and wispy as its title.
-
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News
Mr. Hernández's attempt to put an interior landscape on film a la Pasolini may seem stultifying and pretentious, but it's also a brave dark experiment.
-
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune
Succeeds in alienating us.
-
Richard James Havis, Hollywood Reporter
Hernandez's desire to utilize all the armaments of the filmmaker hits the viewer with a visceral force.
-
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
A murky and morbid dirge of a gay romance set in Mexico City.
