AFI Latin American Film Festival 2009

Writer-director Fernando Veiroj’s debut feature charts the ups and downs of male adolescence with a deadpan comic quirkiness bordering on the surreal, buoyed by wit and sensitivity. Pimply teenager Rafa still hasn’t had his first kiss, even though he’s lost his virginity to the family’s housemaid, in a deal brokered by his older brother, and been to the local brothel with his sex-obsessed friends Andy and Rony. With his parents’ marriage on the brink of divorce, and a move to Israel looming, Rafa musters the courage to ask his pretty classmate Nicole, the true object of his affection, out on a date. From the producers of recent festival hit WHISKY.
