Has great dialogs. Based on homonym play by Emilio Carballido, the other main idea behind is the homage Hermosillo makes to cinema mentioning in a grateful gesture names as Tarkovsky, Hitchcock, Truffaut and Emilio Fernandez. This homage is kind of biographical, using a young kid which only desire is to become film director. Through him we discover where begins the inspiration of a director to follow his passion.
I saw one problem. Sometimes it looks like theater because of a very static camera, performances of young actors Giovanna Zacarías and Ramiro Guerrero, and the way they say their dialogs. Maybe it is Hermosillo's manner to emphasized the cinema as a fiction, if it is true it's not totally achieved. This sensation of filmed theater grows because the main part (in time and substance) happens in the interior of an apartment.
It is a movie inside another movie, which is a nice detail of director's narrative. Inside, there is a love story, a story of a growing kid becoming a man by following his dreams and a more than symbolic sexual encounter which awake the desire to live. At the end we have a lovely movie, maybe a little difficult to enjoy but filmed by someone in love of cinema.
