Y tu mamá también

Like most seventeen-year-old boys, Julio and Tenoch’s lives are ruled by their hormones, their friendship, and their turbulent leap into adulthood. During a pleasant afternoon with their families, they meet Luisa, a 28-year-old Spanish woman, and flirt with her with all the style and charm for which seventeen-year-old boys are known. Just for fun, they invite her to join them on a road trip to a beach called Boca del Cielo (Heaven’s Mouth), failing to mention that they wouldn’t know where to find it even if it actually existed. Luisa plays along, they go their separate ways, and the incident is quickly forgotten.

However, Luisa receives heartbreaking news and, needing a change of scenery, tracks down the boys and accepts their offer. The trio sets off together, their destination not so much Boca del Cielo as that strange, elusive place in our lives where innocence, sexuality, and friendship collide, and adulthood lurks to pick up the pieces.
