The film explores the rituals, and conflicts of a poor, Bolivian-born girl, a rich, young stud leaving Santa Cruz for university in New York, a Colombian boy visiting his cousin in Bolivia, a black female college student in New York and a model/football player at the same University. Thematically structured around issues of femininity, masculinity, virginity, rape and sexuality, the five stories draw upon each other as each character struggles to make sense of their own identity. With nothing in common (socioeconomic status, race, nationality, culture), except the desire to experience true intimacy, their stories are woven together through an underwear ad campaign, re-presenting everything they feel they are supposed to be and everything they feel they are not. Their lives unfold and overlap as each character becomes victim to their own sexual dependencies. -- © BOSD Films [More]

Its power lies in the intense, subtle performances of the ensemble cast and Bellott's ability to keep the tangled narrative threads from becoming a knotted mess.

Rodrigo Bellott's frenzied but clever first film juggles race, class, jingoism, homophobia, sexual attraction and rape.

The pace of this Bolivia/US coproduction is slower than that of a snail, but it gathers some interest as the themes of the vignettes dovetail near the end.

No worse than a tinny artist's statement, but as moviemaking, it's brutally embarrassing, inexcusable.

This bold experiment fails to hang together as a watchable film, straining audience sympathies in too many directions before finally collapsing under its own strident weight.

The split-screen effect does nothing to advance the plot, and is more of a distraction than anything else.

Ambitious filmmaking, especially from a first-timer from a country that hasn't produced a movie since 1995.

Still came up with the same conventional responses to teenage sexual behavior despite its novel way of filming.
