Y tu mamá también

"Y Tu Mamá También, directed by Alfonso Cuarón and starring Gael García, Amores Perros), but also propelled its lead actors and director to global stardom. Its plot, however, speaks profoundly to Mexico during the transition from the 20th to the 21st century, a time marked by deep social and political transformations – including the change in government after 70 years of rule by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the first period of the opposition National Action Party (PAN). The story follows two young men (García and Luna), who are very good friends despite coming from very different social classes. The pair embarks on a road trip with an older Spanish woman (Verdú), an experience that changes their lives forever. Erotic and provocative for its time, the film subverted genre conventions and expectations, speaking both to the sexual awakening of two young men and the contradictions of Mexican society."
