20 years ago, Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Children of Men, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) had his breakout hit with this Mexican box-office smash that sparked controversy for its frank depiction of drug use and sexual exploration. With their respective girlfriends away in Europe, Julio (Gael García 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 Verdú) — 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.
Hace 20 años, Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Children of Men, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) causó sensación con esta comedia mexicana de gran éxito de taquilla que generó controversia por su franca descripción del uso de drogas y de exploración sexual. Con sus novias en Europa, Julio (Gael García Bernal) y su amigo Tenoch (Diego Luna) de clase alta, esperan disfrutar un verano con bebidas, drogas y sexo barato y vacío. En una boda conocen a Luisa (Maribel Verdú) —de 28 años de edad, que es la esposa del primo intelectual de Tenoch — y tratan de convencerla de acompañarlos a un viaje por tierra a la Boca del cielo, una playa paradisíaca que los dos amigos dicen que se encuentra en la costa de Oaxaca. Para sorpresa de ellos, Luisa— que está tratando de escapar de su vida turbulenta en busca de un encanto— decide acompañarlos. A dos días del viaje, la tensión comienza a subir entre los dos amigos: Luisa ha tenido sexo con los dos y ahora los dos muchachos están compitiendo por su amor. Muy pronto hierven los sentimientos de celos derivando a discusiones acaloradas que amenazan destruir completamente su amistad.
