Film Synopsis

Set in Mexico 1999, Y tu mamá también, is a coming-of-age movie that follows two teenage boys, Julio and Tenoch, who embark on a spontaneous road trip with an older woman named Luisa. As they travel through rural Mexico, their journey becomes one of emotional discovery, sexual awakening, and class tension.

Critics review:

It’s the way Cuarón demonstrates how a simple teen comedy can suddenly blossom into a study of sexual mores, a Mexican political allegory, a song of lamentation—and still be breezy and funny and sexy as hell. (Slate Magazine)
