A mysterious gentleman's club sets the scene for an ominous mystery as two brothers discover an underground world of danger and intrigue in director Andrés Waissbluth's feature debut. Silvio and Victor are a tight-knit pair teetering on the verge of adulthood, and when Silvio takes his younger brother to Don Pascual's strip club, a new world of opportunity opens up when the feared and respected club owner offers the elder sibling a job. As Silvio accepts and Victor is initiated into adulthood, the pair is instantly mesmerized by alluring club girl Gracia. Everything is not what it appears to be in Don Pascual's risqué club though, and by the time Silvio and Victor realize the truth behind their surprising stroke of luck, it may be too late to turn back. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
