Member Rating:  
The plight of marginalized youth who inhabits a small town in southern Spain is explored in the sophomore effort from El Traje director Alberto Rodríguez. Granted a weekend furlough from the juvenile detention center for the express purpose of attending his older brother Santacana's (Vicente Romero) wedding, aimless 16-year-old Tano (Juan José Ballesta) plans to join his best friend, Richi (Jesús Carroza), in a marathon session of boozing, getting stoned, and bedding every available female in sight. Though Tano still has the familiar urge to party hardy with his friends, gone in him are the thuggish instincts that drive his mates to rape, rob, and beat up anyone and everyone who stands in his way. As the events of the weekend unfold to reveal a town tiring of being victimized by the aggressive crowd that Tano used to run with, the revelation of where his life of crime is truly leading him forces Tano to reevaluate his violent past and take control of his future. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Tim K.

It succeeded when it told the story of teenage boys walking on a knife edge, but thinking they were on top of their small corner of the world. Inevitably, it all goes wrong and none of the boys are equipped to deal with the consequences. The supporting characters (the adults) seem powerless to save themselves, much less help the boys grow up. If I had to sum up the message of this movie in one line, it would be: No one is more than who they are. It's a pretty sad realization for the characters, and even sadder for the viewers. The acting is very good, the cinematography really supports the feeling of being trapped in this world of crushed expectations. I need to add that reviews I've read here and on other sites, really don't seem to describe the same movie I saw. Unfortunately, the movie ends before we get to see Tano "take control of his future," whatever that means. It was a sad story, well told and acted, but it left me feeling the need to drink myself into a coma.
