Y Tu Mama Tambien star Gael García Bernal makes his feature directorial debut with this study of the class system in Mexico centered on a rowdy house party. Cristobal (García Bernal) is a privileged rich boy who loves a good party almost as much as he loves hip-hip. Cristobal has made plans for a barbecue at his parents' weekend home, but his younger sister (Camila Sodi) and her friends will be staying at the house that weekend as well. Cristobal's sister's friends are more hippie than hip-hop, and as the party begins to get underway it's obvious that these two groups are incapable of seeing past their differences. Likewise, gardener Adán (Tenoch Huerta Mejía) has known Cristobal since the two were just children, yet despite being the same age the two old friends have now been drawn into the same system of class consciousness that divides the entire country. While Cristobal has also invited his girlfriend Mafer (Ana Serradilla) to the highly anticipated shindig, a chance meeting with Argentine beauty Dolores (Luz Cipriota) prompts the deceitful lothario to purposefully give Mafer bad directions in order to get better acquainted with the lovely new object of his affections. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Diego Luna Daniel Martinez, and Laura Hidalgo headline writer director Kurt Hollander's hyper-stylized tale of an ageing pool hustler whose life seems to fall apart just as he hits his late career stride. El Vago (Martinez) has recently won an old-fashioned billiards hall in a heated contest with the joint's former owner El Mexicano (Jesus Ochoa). The first order of business: El Vago enlists the aid of ambitious assistant El Perro (Luna) in shooting an instructional billiards video. Trouble soon begins to brew, however, as El Perro is repeatedly distracted from his camera duties by El Mexicano's sexy daughter La Pujara (Hidalgo). Increasingly aggressive in his attempts to transform the venerable gaming establishment into a techno-throbbing youth hot spot, El Perro later crosses the line when he uses his lens to shoot a pornographic video with willing exhibitionist La Pujara. As an impressive array of billiards champs descend upon the pool hall for a high profile tournament, El Mexicano comes into possession of the steamy sex tape and flies into a vengeful fury. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
