Besos de Azúcar

Nacho, a 13-year-old boy, crosses the threshold of adolescence trying to find his place in life in all the wrong places: a dysfunctional family and a social setting that is corrupt and violent. Excluded and neglected by his mother (a traffic cop), his step father (a vender of bootlegged CDs and DVDs), his step-grandmother and half-brother and sister, Nacho finds refuge dancing with the video game Tecnodance and passing time with Cacayo, his only friend, a slow 27-year-old who works pirating films. Then he falls in love with Mayra, an angelic girl whose only defect is being the daughter of La Diabla, leader of the street market venders, and the sister of Chiquibuki, a little gangster at his mother's service. Could the purity of first love survive the darkest aspects of our society? (Zlín Film Festival)
