Julio y Tenoch son dos jóvenes de clases sociales diferentes pero unidos por una gran amistad centrada en ligar con chicas y pasárselo bien. En una fiesta conocen a Luisa, una aburrida chica española casada con el primo de Tenoch.

Luisa, para pasar una crisis, decide irse con los dos adolescentes en un viaje sin rumbo fijo, una aventura en la que ambos perderán gran parte de la inocencia, pondrá a prueba su amistad y marcará sus vidas para siempre.

Mexican-born, New York-based filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron directed this Mexican box-office smash hit about a pair of randy upper-class buddies that sparked some controversy for its frank depiction of drug use and sexual exploration. With their respective girlfriends away in Europe, Julio (Gael Garcia Bernal) and his upper-class friend Tenoch (Diego Luna) are looking forward to a summer full of drink, drugs, and cheap meaningless sex. During a wedding, they meet Luisa (Maribel Verdu) — the 28-year-old wife of Tenoch's scholarly cousin — and try to convince her to go on a road trip to Heaven's Mouth, a made-up beach paradise the two claim is on the Oaxacan coast.

To their surprise, Luisa — who is looking to escape her troubled life for a spell — agrees to go along. Two days into the trip, tension starts to build between the two friends: Luisa has had sex with each, and now both lads are not-so-quietly vying for her affection. Soon simmering jealousies boil over into savage arguments, threatening to completely destroy their friendship. After an enormously successful run in Mexico and Guatemala, this film was screened to much acclaim at the 2001 Venice, Toronto, and New York Film Festivals.
