- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and politics junkies. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. Same wavelength as Stand and Deliver. Power and ambition drive every scene.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Antonio (Ricky Mergold) is a 16 year old boy from a village in the Mexican province, living the awakening of consciousness with the intensity of the contradictions that surround him: a dogmatic religion, mediocre educational institutions, corrupt politicians an a society full of conformity. His life changes when a young teacher with a genuine desire to teach their students comes to the town, a guide that encourages them to live with dignity and to be critical of the world around them. This story is full of drama and misadventures, which Antonio lives without proper orientation and promiscuity.
